You probably want to try passing video=gbefb:1024x768-15@72 to the
kernel -- or something similar. That exact parameter, will set the
resolution to 1024x768, 15-bit colour (16/24/32-bit colour was b0rked in
X last time I checked), at a refresh rate of 72Hz.
In my arc.cf (arcload) config, I have:

For arcboot... it's very similar:

If you're netbooting... AFAIK the OSLoadOptions may allow you to specify
this... but I'm not sure, this is unexplored territory for me.
Hope this helps. :-)
