Reducing the Size of Startup text

[Greg Sieranski]

Currently on my Thinkpad t60p when I start up my laptop the system 
messages font is to large and runs off the screen. I know there is a way 
to add an attribute to the grub.conf file to reduce the size but I 
forget what the options are. Can someone tell me how to reduce the font 
size or point me in the direction of some info for this issue?

Thanks,
