I suspect that what you are after is the LILO option 'vga=extended'. 
This will give you more console real-estate, although I seem to remember
reading somewhere that it is bad in some situations.  Try it as a
boot-time option first, before you put it in lilo.conf!

If anybody knows how this is done in grub I would be grateful.
