Fine, since there is no other way to get a "display" entry

Since it's an Alpha, what you should do is file a bug.
And while I'm at it, why can the installer use a reasonable video
mode but the
OS boot doesn't? Your typical user isn't going to boot in single user, create an
Xorg.conf file, and edit it to sanity with vi.
Unless you provide something more specific than 'reasonable' and 'not
reasonable' as descriptions of the modes in question, I really can't
say.
