4 What monitor do you have? If it's a TFT, use its native resolution in
5 the kernel parameters. Though some widescreen resolutions aren't
6 supported by some graphics cards' VESA BIOSes, sadly.

8 Another solution is to change the kernel font (in the kernel
9 configuration, somewhere in the console framebuffer settings) and
10 console font (/etc/conf.d/consolefont) since the kernel font will be
11 replaced after the kernel has booted an init is run.
