I can't remember if it's in help or devel, but changing the console resolution is the wrong way to fix this because invariably that makes LCDs (and most any non-CRT display technology) look like crap because in fact you can't change their resolution like you could with a CRT. Maybe the simplest thing to do is replace the default fonts, with rebuilt larger ones. There is a grub font utility, I'm spacing the name of it at the moment. If you need a simpler boot loader, with a simpler scripting language, check out extlinux. But I'm not sure if it supports variable font sizes.
