Works OK for me with an updated-just-now customized (ie. just a lot of stuff
removed) GENERIC.

Heh. It's not just Cyan/Yellow; Red and Blue are swapped too, because:

/usr/src/sys/dev/wscons/wsdisplayvar.h and
/usr/src/sys/dev/ic/pcdisplay.h have different values for those colours.

The VGA console fixes the mapping in vga_allocattr()/vga_raster_allocattr(),
but I don't see where the framebuffer consoles are doing that...
