You may be interested in some of the VGA text modes you can set with
LILO on boot... try adding this line to /etc/lilo.conf:
vga=ask
Put it in the section for your kernel (like just under the image=
line). Be sure to re-run `/sbin/lilo` after the change. This will let
you select different resolutions for your consoles- some of the higher
ones are (I think) 132 lines across by 86 lines down, or something
similar. That gets you some pretty small text, though, and I wouldn't
recommend something that high without a good-sized monitor (say, 19" at
least).
