supported vesa/vidcontrol modes for freebsd guest os?

Running FreeBSD 6 as a guest OS for Parallels for MAC (build 1970). Not using X or a windows manager in the install -- just basic console setup. Kernel is setup with VESA option.

"vidcontrol -i mode" shows quite a few supported modes for the video adapter. Tried to set some of those modes. 2 examples:

vidcontrol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600
vidcontrol MODE_367

Getting the following errors

"cannot set videomode: operation not supported by device"
"cannot activate raster display: operation not supported by device"

Any idea how to change non-X console video modes in guest OS?

Thx. JJ
