My /etc/lilo.conf (generated by liloconfig in debian... yours probably
doesn't have it) says:
---/etc/lilo.conf--
# Specifies the VGA text mode that should be selected when
# booting. The following values are recognized (case is ignored):
# NORMAL select normal 80x25 text mode.
# EXTENDED select 80x50 text mode. The word EXTENDED can be
# abbreviated to EXT.
# ASK stop and ask for user input (at boot time).
# <number> use the corresponding text mode. A list of available modes
# can be obtained by booting with vga=ask and pressing [Enter].
vga=normal
---/etc/lilo.conf---
See also the manpages for lilo, lilo.conf, rdev, and vidmode.
