Author: bde Date: Sat Jun 2 14:07:27 2018 New Revision: 334530 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/334530 Log: Improve defaults for per-CPU kernel console colors, especially with 2 or 4 CPUs. Add a compile-time option SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTRS to control the defaults. Default to color numbers in reverse order to CPU numbers (instead of in the same order with white first and wrapping to dark grey), so that the brightest bright colors are used first. Don't use dark grey at all; replace it by dark green. Syscons has too many compile-time options, but this one is needed in in case the defaults give something like white on white, or the user really hates this feature and can't wait to turn it off in rc. MFC after: next release?
