That's not how the screen shots in the Handbook were generated. Look at the vidcontrol(1) man page, and the -p and -P options. Then look at ports/graphics/scr2png and ports/textproc/scr2txt. The rough process is: 1. Get the screen you want to capture displayed on the first virtual terminal. 2. Use ALT+F2 to switch to the second terminal. Log in here. 3. Run 'vidcontrol -p < /dev/ttyv0 > shot.scr' to capture the contents of the first virtual terminal. 4. Run one of 'scr2png < shot.scr > shot.png' or 'scr2txt < shot.scr > shot.txt' to generate the image.
