>Description:
There is a problem in the FreeBSD handbook as provided by freebsd.org.
The chapter about virtual console (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/consoles.html for reference) tells users that, in order to change the resolution of the console, they must first recompile their kernels (4.2.6 :"The FreeBSD console default video mode may be adjusted to 1024x768, 1280x1024, or any other size supported by your graphics chip and monitor. To use a different video mode, you first must recompile your kernel and include two additional options"), even though you can do the same by adding a module to the kernel (kldload vesa for example) to do the same.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the freebsd handbook
>Fix:
Changing the Handbook accordingly.
