I have a new MBP, and successfully installed FreeBSD 10-STABLE with boot to ZFS using the EFI partition to hold the boot loader.
At the boot loader console, I can choose "mode 2" and get a nice font that uses the full screen space. Beautiful!
However as soon as the loader runs, it switches into about a 1/4 screen size view that is almost unreadable due to small size. This happens even if I don't change the mode during boot loader BTW.
After booting, I can log in and switch to terminus font, but the screen real estate is still not full screen.
This is of course a haswell architecture, so there's no point trying to get X going, but I'd be very happy if there's a way to get the vt console to keep the screen size at max.
Any suggestions? config files follow, trimmed where appropriate. Photos to match the story coming soon.
