     Nikhil:

     Any chance you are using an IBM ThinkPad? I had that problem too and solved
    it by running the display self check, that is in the BIOS section. After
    running the screen check, the problem went away and the console was restored
    to full screen. I am running FreeBSD 4.8 on an IBM 600E. To get to the
    diagnostics checks, I held SHIFT F1 while the notebook booted.
