I tried one of those and it didn't work.  But that brought up a message
saying I just had to hit enter to see the available modes on my machine.

So try vga=795 on the kernel line (which was invalid here), and you
should be able to hit enter for a list of all modes available on your
machine.  I saw 80x25 on my list.  Because the wikipedia pages says
there are no standards anymore for this, it probably depends on your
hardware what is available.  My guess is that normal went away as a
definition (or was changed) between F10 and F11.
