So, I noticed that the resolution I have after installation, for console mode, is higher than it was during the install process. Where is the resolution set that effects console mode? It's not an EFI system, but it looks like a framebuffer becomes active about halfway through the bootup.

decuser,

Its set on the kernel command line.
See https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html and /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/modedb.rst

How you do that and what your write depends on your console video driver and your boot loader.
