--- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <emaste at freebsd.org> ---
This is the expected behaviour when your system boots in VGA mode. In that case
vt(4) starts as 640x480. Once your video driver loads it switches to the native
screen resolution.

You can load the i915 driver from the command line to switch to the higher
resolution, or try loading i915kms.ko from the loader.

Also if you boot via UEFI instead the vt_efifb driver will be used instead of
the vt_vga driver, and will likely run at the native resolution.

I'll leave this PR open pending the creation of useful documentation on
configuring this.
