I've used the "Configuring Lilo" section from the link above with
success on systems using either lilo or grub. Just append...

vga=xxx

... to your boot options where xxx is one of

640x480 	800x600 	1024x768 	1280x1024
256 	769 	771 	773 	775
32K 	784 	787 	790 	793
64K 	785 	788 	791 	794
16M 	786 	789 	792 	795
