I have tested it. It does work.

From that manpage: vga=<mode> This specifies the VGA text mode that should be selected when booting. The following values are recognized (case is ignored): normal: select normal 80x25 text mode. extended (or ext): select 80x50 text mode. ask: stop and ask for user input (at boot time). <number>: use the corresponding text mode (can specify the number in decimal or in hex with the usual '0x' convention). A list of available modes can be obtained by booting with vga=ask and pressing [Enter]. If this variable is omitted, the VGA mode setting contained in the kernel image is used. (And that is set at compile time using the SVGA_MODE variable in the kernel Makefile, and can later be changed with the rdev(8) program.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
