It will not, but OS/2 always boots at 640x480 during the first phase.
You can always press Alt-F1 when "OS/2" appears in the top left corner
and then choose VGA and other options from a menu. If you select VGA,
you need to reinstall SNAP. You can boot to text mode that way and
configure SNAP. The problem is that SNAP can't handle the resolution of
wide screens; up to 1280x1024 is fine.
