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.
