You need to compile a Kernel and set an option to include a larger font. I
use

option FONT_SPLEEN16x32

The font size is too small.<br>
<br>
I enabled additional virtual consoles in /etc/ttys<br>
<br>
wsconscfg -t 80x24 2<br>
results in:<br>
screen 2 is already configured<br>
<br>
I remove with<br>

<br>
Then<br>
wsconscfg -t 80x24 2<br>
results in<br>
wsconscfg: WSDISPLAYIO_ADDSCREEN: Device not configured<br>
<br>
Try <br>
wsconscfg -t 80x24 2 -e vt100 2<br>
and<br>
wsconscfg -e vt100 -t 80x24 2<br>
both get Device not configured<br>
<br>
wsconscfg -e vt100<br>
has no error<br>
but then<br>
wsconscfg -t 80x24 2<br>
results in: screen 2 is already configured<br>
<br>
I also tried setting 80x24 in /etc/wscons.conf and reboot but nothing<br>
noticable.<br>
<br>
Tried with different screens and with 80x25.<br>
Luckily startx works and then I can use xterm as Huge but even that is<br>
too small.<br>
<br>
Any hints with wsconscfg?<br>
<br>
I couldn&#39;t see to setup wireless :)<br>
<br>
Other options may be to have a custom kernel (but doesn&#39;t help<br>
when cannot see to get that far :)<br>
Or boot.cfg menu. Any hints?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
