I also run Arch Linux like Chuck does but I'm using grub2 so I had to do a similar thing but had to be sure the grub.cfg file included a 'insmod vbe' before I could get any change in screen size; from there I used vga=790 as a kernel parameter to achieve a 48 row by 128 column screen. Another way you could get a large screen with grub2 is alter the values in /etc/default/grub to use gfxterm as the terminal output but then grub seemed a lot slower but I got a screen size of 96 rows by 256 columns!
