I'm not sure this is what you want, but you can change the VGA screen
(the one that lists all of the inits with the [OK] status) using a
kernel command line option vga=. The list of possible sizes is:

#       colour          depth   | 640x480  800x600  1024x768 1280x1024
#       256             (8bit)  |  769      771       773      775
#       32000           (15bit) |  784      787       790      793
#       65000           (16bit) |  785      788       791      794
#       16.7 Mill.      (24bit) |  786      789       792      795

Thanks guys. This is exactly what I was looking for.
