Hm, neither of those work.  I went through all possible options
offered me by vga=ask, too ... they all resize the font for a bit, but
then when they actually start booting the kernel, they switch back to
4-way overlapping.  Are there other boot parameters, perhaps, that
could modify this?

thanks a lot!
