Problem with installation of FreeBSD 12.1 on Thinkpad X230

Hi everyone,

I am trying to install FreeBSD 12.1 on my Lenovo Thinkpad X230. I boot from a thumb drive (created from FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img with rufus) and get into the loading screen with no problem.
Upon choosing 1) for multi-user mode, the installation menu loads into the first two lines of the terminal (as can be seen in the attachted picture). The menu can be navigated but only a small slice is visible.
As suggested here, I tried changing the mode by typing mode 0 (resultion does not change) and typing in boot afterwards. The result is the same.
When changing to mode 2, the resolution changes to a higher one, and when typing boot the installation menu is loaded only into the very first line of the terminal.

The graphics controller is a: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
and CPU is a: Intel Core i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60 GHz.

Can you please help me fix this issue.
What can I try next?

Thanks and cheers!
