Another answer (to switch to a much smaller text size):

Put this in your /boot/loader.conf

    vesa_load="YES"

and put something like this in your /etc/rc.conf

   font8x16="/usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso15-thin-8x16.fnt"
   font8x8="/usr/share/syscons/fonts/cp437-thin-8x8.fnt"
   allscreens_flags="132x43"

That's what I'm using, but I'm wondering why I have those two font
definitions there.
