I am not able to help you here.
So, would the firmware update change the display/console/terminal size?
As I had mentioned I tried config.txt which I think is the standard on
the Raspberry Pi as far as display configuration. It appears to me that
maybe I have to configure the syscons, vt or other driver or facility.
This I have investigated although come up empty. vidcontrol -i mode
yields one entry repeated multiple times, which is not listed in the man
page for vidcontrol, as far as I can tell.

Use telnet for the start to make sure that you avoided the simplest
problems. You need inetd and /etc/inetd.conf with telnet enabled in
there.
I have enabled telnet in /etc/inetd.conf and enabled inetd
in /etc/rc.conf
by adding the entry, ' inetd_enable="YES" ' to the file at the bottom.

You have to enable inetd in rc.conf and telnet on /etc/inetd.conf.
I have also used bsdconfig to check the services, looks fine.
service -e, returns inetd enabled but no telnetd... also sshd which I
enabled previously.
when I try to run telnetd (service telnetd start) I get that it is not
in /etc/rc.d/(telnetd) or that it is not in /usr/local/libexec/
(telnetd). telnetd is in /usr/libexec/,but it appears that something is
not looking there for it. Same thing when I try telnetd -debug.
Thanks,
