Yeah, was grasping at straws with vidconsole. IIRC that was valid with the old
sc(4) console. 

I don't seem to have ConOut?

root at molly:~ # efivar -d 8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-ConOut
efivar: fetching 8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-ConOut: No such file or
directory

root at molly:~ # efivar | grep ConOut
8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-ConOutDev
root at molly:~ # efivar -d 8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-ConOutDev

: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)/AcpiAdr(0x80010100)

I do have a ConInDev:
root at molly:~ # efivar | grep ConIn
8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-ConInDev
root at molly:~ # efivar -d 8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-ConInDev
8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-ConInDev
: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1f,0x0)/Acpi(PNP0303,0x0)

Note that this system has now been booted by manually setting Cons: to video.
Not sure if that matters for the contents of those variables. I can't get it to
boot at all if Cons: is set to serial. 

I've also added a specific FreeBSD boot entry with efibootmgr to see if that
made any difference. It didn't. 

root at molly:~ # efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0000
Timeout    : 1 seconds
BootOrder  : 0000, 0001
+Boot0000* FreeBSD-13
 Boot0001* Hard Drive
