Looking to educate myself, I have installed FreeBSD as a dual-boot on
this Linux machine, and have overcome some basic problems. Now I have
a couple of questions.

How do I get FreeBSD to use a "better" console, like the one one gets
by specifying
vga=791
in lilo.conf.? (stll using the lilo installed through linux)

See vidcontrol(1)

How do I change the default shell from csh to bash?.

chsh(1), install bash from the ports tree.

Thanks. Should learn chsh, of course :).

Or just:

pw usermod user -s /pathtoshell
