	[Assuming you're using the "vt" console - don't know the answer
for "sc".]
	Not sure about the frequency, but to change the resolution put:

kern.vt.fb.default_mode="1920x1200"

	in /boot/loader.conf.local.
	(I just got a monitor that strongly prefers that resolution.  I
couldn't find anything on adjusting the frequency.)
