To add injury to insult, this can burn out your monitor if you leave it like that. I hate to say "go and buy a book", but you really should get "The Complete FreeBSD", second edition (http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm), which describes what to do to solve this and many other problems (including Internet setup). In the meantime, I can just hope that somebody with more time than I have can help, and suggest that you check the resolutions and board/monitor parameters again. It's tricky.
