It's not clear to me what problem you are having or attempting to solve.

The "5" option in the boot menu lets you cycle through the different console options (all four in total).  In my case, it has no effect because I set "comconsole" and "boot_multicons" explicitly in /boot/loader.conf (since a long time ago), and no matter what I select via the console loader, it is overridden by what is loaded from /boot/loader.conf during loading and booting the kernel.

Do you similarly have something in /boot/loader.conf that is overriding the console setting?

Cheers,

Paul.
