I think there's a much simpler solution :-)  I tried the rhgb, decided I 
always wanted to see the details anyway,  noted that the rhgb was slower 
anyway, so I just disabled rhgb and use the regular boot, which not only 
always shows you the details, but shows them in a font big enough to 
read (the console 25x80 font, as opposed to the default X-size drawn on 
1600x1200 screen)!
