Yep, or, if you don't like to wait for rc.local, you can change the
nvramrc so it comes up white-on-black at power-on, at least for some
versions of the prom.  I don't know how this would interact with
NetBSD/sparc's RCONSOLE, my sparc is headless.

Personally, I'd just change the default to white-on-black. Screw
making it an option :-)

And it's one of the reason's that NetBSD is so valuable. Never forget
that that value is coming from the donated efforts of others.
