You have to set up your configuration files in /etc/mol/.

I believe it is /etc/mol/molrc.video. Use something like 'emacs' in =
console or 'kate' if you prefer gui and edit the molrc.video config file =
as root. Everything is commented out, so it shouldn't be too hard to =
figure out. There is a section for Fullscreen. Also, you can turn off =
the X11 MOL window if you want to. Once you get that set up, restart MOL =
and it should send you straight to console. Switching between the two is =
as easy as ctrl-opt-F7 & F8.
