If you are grub2 you can try to set the desired resolution(s) in
/etc/default/grub:
GRUB_GFXMODE=""
This will affect grub menu before the kernel takes over, to preserve the
chosen resolution you can use:
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep"
or specify a resolution instead of keeping the one from gfxmode. But how
"harmless" this is depends on your setup, side effects can range from
boot process hanging to nasty Xsession corruption when going back and
forth from the vt. Here it works fine though with sid Nvidia packages.
