You can change the console video mode, by properly tweaking your
rc.conf file. I have in mine:
% grep allscr /etc/rc.conf
allscreens_flags="132x25"
This makes the default console mode have 132 columns instead of the
default 80. My 15" monitor looks a lot better with 132 columns.
For more video modes, read the manual page of vidcontrol(1) and the
description of allscreens_flags in rc.conf(5).
