I am having screen resolution problem with OpenBSD 5.9 RELEASE running
inside qemu-kvm with OVMF EDKII efi firmware (amd64).

OpenBSD can't detect the correct screen resolution, so the text
displayed is too small to read. My screen is 1366x768. OVMF is running
with initial 800x600 resolution.

OpenBSD loader prompt displayed fine, but as soon as the blue OpenBSD
boot screen displayed, the screen resolution jumped to 2048x2048 with no
excuse to my current screen resolution. I think OpenBSD's efifb lacking
the ability to detect initial framebuffer screen resolution.

This happens with qxl, std, and cirrus vga adapters.

The screenshot is available here, taken from remmina vnc viewer.

Is there any way to make OpenBSD efi screen resized to proper resolution
during boot? Thing such as loader.conf or boot.conf?
