Another option is to just compile the framebuffer into the kernel.
That's what I did.
Graphics support:
[*] Support for frame buffer devices
* VESA VGA graphics support

I guess Roy's solution would be the best for you since you dont plan
on using any splash screen or graphic candy, it would put your console
to 1024x768 and you wouldn't have to worry about anything. (be careful
if your monitor supports the resolution and specially the refresh
rate).
On 6/30/05,
Check that looked over by grub.conf and i had the wrong bzImage in
there sorry to disturb you.
