Loader goes to LINES=16 and kernel stays on that :(

Hi,

I've been trying to get my laptop updated to main of the day for a
few days.

loader.efi (lua) gets loaded;  I see the EFI bits flashing by in a tiny
font and then loader sits there being more magestic than on a vt100
with LINES=16 :
% kenv LINES; kenv COLUMNS
16
60

Before the kernel starts I see that bit flashing by which says 1920x...
but even the kernel then stays with LINES=16.

I'd appreciate if someone would help me to get this fixed so that I can
cater for all the later problems better (wifi, drm-kmod, IPv6, .. all
paniced on me).
