I like to have the screencolor set to black on *lightwhite*. Using
"vidmode black lightwhite" does not work!
Anyone who accomplished this?
I use NetBSD 1.0 with pcvt, which I think comes with FreeBSD as well, if you
have pcvt compiled into your kernel and the utilities compiled, try
scon -p black,42,42,40 -p lightgray,0,15,0
Those are the settings I use for black text on a light gray background
Be happy...
