So... he can't read the subsequent screens

Does anyone have any workarounds to either:
a) perform stage 2 of the install in text mode
b) get stage 2 to use a lower screen resolution

linux xdriver=vesa
might do the trick. The person will have to reconfigure X to use the
proper driver once the installation is done. There are also
resolution=800x600 or something along those lines to force a particular
resoution.
on reboot? I thought those were effective in anaconda, but firstboot?
