Maybe something like system-config-display or redhat-config-display or
Xconfigurator or vga=791 or ?????
Why not tell us what version of Linux your using and what you really mean by
the 'booting screen'.

Resolution at this time is handled at boot time using the kernel line in
grub, try something like for example;
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.14.3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet vga=791
The screen resolution will be at 1024x768x64-k colors or
128 cols + 48 lines. See the table below for other resolutions and color
depths. (Best viewed with a mono-space font)
Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
256 769 771 773 775
32k 784 787 790 793
64k 785 788 791 794
16M 786 789 792 795
