When passing "vga=extended" as a parameter during boot-up, the following 
code in /etc/init.d/bootmisc seems to reset the console to "vga=normal".

if [ -c /dev/ttyp0 ]
then
     chmod 666 /dev/tty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]
     chown root:tty /dev/tty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]
fi

Any ideas as to why?

Hi

I tried it here, and that did not reset it for me.  The
setting of the console font did though.
