Currently the only way would be to build the bootloader with a config
that would work for your system.

We just added kernel support to detect the best video mode, and I am adding
support so that kboot can save a user specified default video mode in flash
mem, but it will be some time before a kboot with that support is available.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
