On this particular machine I am working on I get a text screen size of

frame buffer. Is there a way I can change that from the command line,
or in grub's menu.list maybe?

Yes, with the 'vga=' option in grub's menu.lst.
These are some of the url's that provide some clarity:

'vga=ask' seems to provide a list of choices. Never tried it myself
though.
