Hi,

This is likely caused by changes in vt(4) introduced in FreeBSD-11. Most
importantly, the new default is to use kernel mode setting which works
only limitedly well with nvidia's drivers. The default vt mode of
FreeBSD-10 can be restored by setting

hw.vga.textmode=1

in /boot/loader.conf. 

Yours,
        Alonso
