I think it is similar to lilo.conf. From that manpage:
vga=<mode>
This specifies the VGA text mode that should be selected when
booting. The following values are recognized (case is ignored):
normal: select normal 80x25 text mode.
extended (or ext): select 80x50 text mode.
ask: stop and ask for user input (at boot time).
<number>: use the corresponding text mode (can specify the number in
decimal or in hex with the usual '0x' convention). A list of
available modes can be obtained by booting with vga=ask
and pressing
[Enter].
If this variable is omitted, the VGA mode setting contained in the
kernel image is used. (And that is set at compile time using the
SVGA_MODE variable in the kernel Makefile, and can later be changed with
the rdev(8) program.)
