I do not believe that 5.2 can do more than 100x37 on VESA_800x600.
To enable it you have to recompile your kernel with
option SC_PIXEL_MODE enabled (so you can use the raster text mode).

options 	VGA_WIDTH90		# support 90 column modes
options 	SC_PIXEL_MODE		# add support for the raster text mode

Then load the vesa support with kldload vesa and try 
"vidconrtol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600".

If it is o.k. for you put in your /etc/rc.conf file:
allscreens_flags="-g 100x37 VESA_800x600" 
and add to /boot/loader.conf:
vesa_load="YES" to load the vesa module at startup.
