boot stuck on Video initialization, see image: https://goo.gl/photos/W26wr6ETpmjrC8hr6

Trying 16.7 on same USB stick, boots fine. Tried on boot prompt:

set kern.vt.fb.default_mode="800x480"
boot

but it still tries 800x600 and fails to initiate video.

Comparing /boot/loader.conf in 16.7 only 4 lines, in 17.1 many more, maybe that is it.

We're not using vt, it has a few issues, so we stick to sc. Instructions in the forum. Please let me know if that was the issue.
