You can also enter a kernel argument like 'vga=ask', which will then prompt you for resolution, when prompted try a number from 1 to 9. I believe this is in the lilo or lilo.conf man pages. Using modconf to enable the vga frame buffer may give you nicer fonts & more options, the docs are in the kernel source package.
