You can use vidcontrol to change console resulation under FreeBSD.

# vidcontrol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600

if you get an error like "vidcontrol: cannot set videomode: Inappropriate ioctl for device" you need to give VESA support to kernel.

options VGA_WIDTH90
options VESA
options SC_PIXEL_MODE

Add following line to /etc/rc.conf to run it when server startup time.

allscreens_flags="-c destructive -g 100x37 VESA_800x600
