Disregard, just read the man page. Figured it out.

    That is really odd.  Well, we do inherit FreeBSD's console driver so
    it makes sense to some degree.  But green?  Well... before DPMS there
    was a monitor standard for green-channel shutdown, for screen savers.
    Maybe its related to that?   I don't know, it's weird.
    Try setting the video mode with vidcontrol, without going into X,
    and see if that clears it up.

Is there a way to set vidcontrol during start-up?  I played with it using VMWare but after rebooting it goes back to the old video mode.  If the same happens with a regular hard drive install I don't think it will solve the issue.
