I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but this will give you
white on black text on the console instead of black on white. This works with
Solaris, not sure how well it'll work with FreeBSD.
Ok, I still haven't figured out why my xterms are busted and can't paste, so
you don't get the whole rc.d script. Here's the meat of it anyway:
white on boack:
echo "\033[q\c" > /dev/console
black on white:
echo "\033[p\c" > /dev/console
No idea what does the actual interpretation of the codes, if it's Solaris
driver, you're probably still stuck. If the framebuffer does the work it
should be ok.
Chad.
