Beginner's problems

Hello, I have just installed FreeBSD in Parallels on my Apple Mac. I'm trying to get the screen resolution sorted, but when I type `kldload vesa` as per the guide at https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/consoles.html I get the error message:

What am I doing wrong?

What does dmesg(8) say?
Error 6 is ENXIO, which means something tried to use a device that doesn't exist. In isolation, that error message tells us nothing.
