Re: lost high resolution console with lastest snapshot

Ah, sorry.
Put it in /boot/loader.conf.

And one other thing to mention.
If the screen resolution itself is incorrect,
possibly putting

  vbe_max_resolution=1920x1080

in /boot/loader.conf could help, as your gop mode 0
seems to be 1920x1080.
