Hi.
Have you tried via command line, /etc/sysctl.conf or /etc/rc.conf?
If so, try setting it in /boot/loader.conf and reboot.
hw.vga.textmode is tunable, so can be set only by loader.
Sigh... I'm afraid it was quite late last night when
I attempted this, and I took it out of context.
Yes. Adding the line to *loader.conf(5)* worked as intended.
Sorry for all the bother. :(
Thanks for your kind help. :)

% grep -r -n "hw.vga" /usr/src/sys/ | fgrep textmode
/usr/src/sys/dev/vt/hw/vga/vt_vga.c:1298: * If
"hw.vga.textmode" is not set and we're running on
hypervisor,
/usr/src/sys/dev/vt/hw/vga/vt_vga.c:1304:
TUNABLE_INT_FETCH("hw.vga.textmode", &textmode);
^^^^^^^
