You need to re-config dt to get the reverse video.

How many pty's do you have? I ran into this problem, but after console 4,
when I only had pty0 through pty3. Go to /dev and make some more pyt's. I
think the exact command sequence is in the FAQ, or you can look through
the MAKEDEV script to see which option you need to feed it. Either pty0 or
ptya comes to mind.

Take care,
