Hi Emilia,

There is a problem on account of which you cannot kldload nvidia-modeset 
via /boot/loader.conf. The sure way to kldload nvidia and nvidia-modeset
by putting this in /etc/rc.local :

kldload nvidia
kldload nvidia-modeset

If your loader.conf / rc.conf has anything stuff to load nvidia 
[-modeset], remove that stuff.

/boot/loader.conf must have this:

kern.vty=vt

Please try the above and reboot. If your problems persist, get back to 
the forum. If it solves your situation, I would be grateful if you could 
post me a word.

Tx
