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.

% 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);
^^^^^^^
