# vidcontrol VGA_80x50
man vidcontrol for the full range of options. You can also put
allscreens_flags="VGA_80x50"
in /etc/rc.conf to set it for all console screens at boot-up. As
someone pointed out yesterday, the "allscreens_flags" option only
works for some vidcontrol options; you can't set fg and bg colours
this way, for instance.
