Getting a high-resolution console in Linux

This is a guide to getting a high-resolution console (non-X based) on your Linux machine. I'd be happy if I could make my console look exactly like the Gentoo LiveCD's console, but I haven't yet figured out how that works.

Update: Gentoo uses a package called bootsplash, and here's a tutorial for setting it up under Gentoo. Gentoo rules.

Gentoo does it with <a href="http://www.bootsplash.org/">bootsplash</a>.

Oh! As I was exploring around the system to figure out how they did their console I noticed all kinds of bootsplash stuff, but I figured that was something the Gentoo people set up for themselves. I didn't realize bootsplash was a separate product. Thanks for letting me know about it.
