James:

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

some of these may not work on your machine however, (I can't get a
1280x1024 screen even though that's the default of my monitor and X
supplies it)

note that this does not change the screen that GRUB is on (I don't
believe it is possible to change that, at least not very easily and GRUB
itself seems to require a certain size and depth as well.  All of this
will likely change when GRUB2 is complete anyway!
