Thanks for your reply.
It's already there. I just need to use vidcontrol to change it.
But as I really prefer verbose logging to the console. I wouldn't do
well to have a picture covering the output. If it were possible to put
a 125 pixel tall banner at the top of the screen with a hi-res 1024x768
console, there-by still allowing the output to flow underneath; that would
be cool. But till then, I think I'll stick to the pure output the kernel
provides.

Thanks again.
