Thanks!  I did try Basic Graphics before, and while it made the image
clear and distortion-free it was still 640x480.

While browsing bugs.centos.org I saw a reference to using "vga=773" to
fix the resolution in VMware Fusion/Workstation, but it had no effect
on the physical server's GUI when I tried it.

The same bug post mentioned putting "text" on the kernel line.  I
didn't think that was supported on CentOS 7, should that be in the
Troubleshooting menu too?  I'm using that to get the server at least
basically loaded for now, I'll go back later and tweak the
auto-generated KS file to re-install the way I want it.
