By setting your preferred mode in `/etc/rc.conf':
allscreens_flags="80x30"
Note that for non-default modes, you also have to set up a font in your
`rc.conf' file, otherwise vidcontrol will refuse to change the console
mode at bootup, so a more complete example would be:
font8x8="iso-8x8.fnt"
allscreens_flags="80x60"
After saving these in your `/etc/rc.conf' file you don't have to reboot
for them to take effect, something like the following should work too:
hostname# /bin/sh
# vidcontrol -f 8x8 iso-8x8.fnt
# for dev in /dev/ttyv* ; do vidcontrol 80x60 < "$dev" ; done
