NetBSD/amd64, 9.1. What controls the colours used for console text output before wscons takes over? When I build a kernel with WS_KERNEL_FG=WSCOL_GREEN and no WS_KERNEL_BG, I see green on black, both before and after the switch from text mode to text-in-graphics mode. WS_KERNEL_FG=WSCOL_BLACK and WS_KERNEL_BG=WSCOL_BLACK, and both are black-on-black.
But WS_KERNEL_FG=WSCOL_LIGHT_BROWN (I wanted yellow, that looks like the closeset available approximation) and WS_KERNEL_BG=WSCOL_BLUE? Once wscons switches, everything is as I would expect - but, before that, it's white on black! So there's clearly something I don't understand going on.
