Maybe there is an easier way but you can stick -
vga = ask
into your /etc/lilo.conf
Reboot and you will be asked to make a choice.
It may take a few reboots (that is the part I don't like). Then once
you have decided which "number" your going with you would put -
vga = <number>
in /etc/lilo.conf
Remember to run /sbin/lilo.
