Hello Friends!

I am running NetBSD on my Sun 3/60 and MacBSD on an old SE/30.  Both
systems are up and running pretty well, but I was wondering if there is a
way to change the way text is displayed on the console.  Currently, the
console has black text on a white background, and I want it to be the
other way around.  Do I set up a termcap or something to do this?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Patrick
