Charlie,

Just ran accross this in browsing thru "Linux for Your Laptop" by Bill Ball.

Per page 230, check out LILO's documentation, User_Guide.ps, found under
the /usr/doc/lilo directory, the vga= kernel message has several options:

o normal.  Uses normal VGA text mode
o extended.  Attempts to use 80x50 text mode.
o ask.  Just before booting, prompts for a number, corresponding to a
    displayed text mode.
