Large font when booting into linux when using NVIDIA card

[Adam D <emlists@gmail.com>]

Ever since I have built my first x86 box (AMD64) I have not been able to get my initial font size down from the about 1" size.  I have included in my grub the following line

..root=/dev/hda1 ro video=nvidiafb:vmode:22 quiet splash

Using 'video=nvidiafb:vmode:22' does not make a difference with the video.  I would love to use the TTYs more but with such large text on the terminal it becomes very annoying.

Is there away I can use smaller text?
