Framebuffer Console ???

["Christopher W. Aiken" <cwaiken@telerama.com>]

When I played with the RH and Slackware flavors
of Linux, I could add the following lines to
my lilo.conf file to get a nice looking bootup
screen and a much better resolution on my console
screens.

# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
vga=791

Is there any way to do this in Debian 2.2?  
The Debian lilo objects to the 791 value.
