You mean on the Hurd's /dev/console, right?  The initial settings are zero
on any terminal device.  When using ptys, these values are set by whatever
sets up the pty (i.e. xterm uses window size, telnetd/sshd uses the value
from the client side terminal settings).

There is no automatic setting for the console device.  It would be
reasonable to have something in rc that just did "stty rows 25 cols 80" to
get the right settings for the console.
