Forgot to add:
Another workaround is to disable BIOS console redirection after POST and use
GRUB's native serial port console functionality -- you will not get the
black-on-black escape sequence. To do this, first in Solaris, use bootadm to
change the boot loader's console type:
bootadm set-menu console=serial
(the default port is 0 (ttya)).
Then reboot and enter BIOS setup and change the redirection setting. When
GRUB displays its menu on your serial console, you'll know you got it right.
Proceed to booting and verify there is no more black-on-black.

Quoting Paul de Nijs, who wrote the following on Wed, 6 Jun 2012:
All,
When I connect to a system using the /SP/console on solaris11, at some point
I get black text on a black background. It just happens after the grub menu.
I captured the output of that part, and it seems that after the selection of
the menu-entry in grub the setting is indeed black on black ....
^[[02;00H^@Loading
hd0,msdos1,sunpc1/ROOT/solaris/@/platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive: 0%.
^[[03;00H^@.. ^[[03;00H^@..79%...
^[[03;00H^@^[[0m^[[2;30;40m
Well, it's actually:
Faint (2)
text color black (30)
background color black (40)
So, if possible, take out the ^[[2;30;40m
and probably put in ^[c (ESC c) or a ^[[0m (ESC [0m)
I can't believe grub is compiled with ncurses, so it will work on other weird
terminals, it's just plain ANSI, right ?
Thanks
Paul
