Don't know about NetBSD, but under SunOS, the escape sequences 
esc[p and esc[p set white on black or black on white display, respectively.

: is this possible?

I don't know if this will work under NetBSD. In fact, I've only tried this on 
a Sparc 1 running SunOS 4.1.1; but I'll get a monitor for my 3/60 next week ...

Hope this helps,
