See the vidcontrol(1) man page: vidcontrol -i mode --- list the supported video modes vidcontrol 132x43 --- change to 132 cols by 43 rows There's many more things about the console you can modify with vidcontrol(1). Beware however that not all tty consoles are equal and the system may not be able to do much with what you have. You may need to load the vga module into your kernel for best results. See also 'allscreens_flags' in rc.conf(5) for changing the settings automatically on boot-up.
