console size control

Try looking at "man lilo.conf"  I set mine up by adding "mode=svga" to
this file, lilo sets the screen at the start of the boot sequence.

         I think all he needs is an entry in lilo.conf.
         Try adding a line "vga=extended", then re-run lilo.
         And of course, you'll need to reboot for it to take effect :)
