You are probably missing the VT console in the kernel, set 
kern.vty="vt" in /boot/loader.conf. This should be augmented by KMS 
drivers for your GPU. If you don't have an accelerated GPU like nVidia 
or AMD/ATI, then you're out of luck.

When you press Ctrl+Alt+F3, you are switched to ttyv2, it just doesn't 
show up. You're looking at a ghost image of the X display. You can 
type blindly, but that's not what anyone would want.

Hit Alt+F9 to get back to the X server.
