we can use vidcontrol command to change console resolution .
type below command to change your resolution
#vidcontrol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600
after this command if it says you

"vidcontrol: cannot set videomode: Inappropriate ioctl for device"

you must compile your kernel with VESA options
----
options VGA_WIDTH90
options VESA
options SC_PIXEL_MODE
----
then try again, it will work..

make permanent this resolution setting edit rc.conf and add the following line

allscreens_flags="-c destructive -g 100x37 VESA_800x600
reboot it.
