Your kernel sets up framebuffer, so the way to achieve this (provided
framebuffer support has been compiled in) is to pass it the right
option, "vga=XXX".

My favourite is "vga=791" for 1024z768 16bit fb.

In LILO (just an example, modify for your situation):

image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label=Linux
        initrd=/boot/initrd.img
	vga=791
