Snapshot image of console

I created VirtualBox VM for FreeBSD 64bit on Windows host and tried to make
clean install of 14-CURRENT with iso image of 20210225 snapshot
(FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-amd64-20210225-bf667f282a7-256946-disc1.iso). Then
installer worked with monochrome mode. Attached file is the screen shot of
console. If I start `bsdinstall` after installation is completed, it works with
normal color mode. So the source of the problem seems not installer but console
setting. Moreover I tested same iso image with real H/W of Windows host and the
problem also
happened. So it isn't specific to VritualBox.

The problem doesn't happen with 20210218 snapshot. So I bisected between them
and found it happens with following commit or later.

    rc: implement parallel boot

    take advantage of the rcorder -p argument to implement parallel
    booting in rc.

    According to the author non scientific tests:
