how to use text mode during installation part 2?

I'm trying to help a friend install F8 (from the 'live CD',
but when it comes to the final steps of config,
(after the reboot after the install), Fedora uses a GUI
to do this, but for some reason, the vert/horiz rates
the installer choses, or the resolution it chooses,
doesn't work for either of his monitors.

So... he can't read the subsequent screens
to finish the installation.

Does anyone have any workarounds to either:
  a) perform stage 2 of the install in text mode
  b) get stage 2 to use a lower screen resolution

TIA
