The 'blip' is usually when the framebuffer graphics driver turns on |
| 11 |
and changes the video mode. Since you are not seeing any difference, |
| 12 |
either the framebuffer driver is failing, or you are now using just |
| 13 |
the plain vga driver instead of something more advanced (like |
| 14 |
vesafb-tng). |

Take a look at what you have under "Device Drivers->Graphics Support", |
| 17 |
the answer is probably in there. |

Note that later in startup it is possible for the font size to change, |
| 20 |
without a 'blip', when the consolefont service runs. This is |
| 21 |
configured by /etc/conf.d/consolefont. |
