Sorry, just realized that I remembered incorrectly. The GENERIC kernel
defaults to 640x400, unless GRF_NTSC is commented out in the config
file.

I am not sure. I used NetBSD on graphics cards since the 90s, so I
never tried that. Probably you have to compile a kernel without
GRF_NTSC option and/or use iteconfig to set a new console size.
