You have to recompile a kernel for this. For white on black add
options        RASTERCONSOLE_FGCOL=WSCOL_WHITE
options        RASTERCONSOLE_BGCOL=WSCOL_BLACK
to your config file. To use a smaller font add:
options        FONT_BOLD8x16
but I'm not sure this will give you more lines (I didn't try it).
You may also want to try 
options RASTERCONS_FULLSCREEN

This depends on your hardware. What framebuffer do you have ?
The dmesg will tell you.
