FWIW, I found the white-on-blue display unpleasant as well. And it was
thoroughly unpleasant to see the blue/black mixed scrolling while
unpacking files. (Though the fact that the screen mostly went to black
was a small plus; it is *much* easier on the eyes. (^&)
That sysinst didn't get it right is testimony that it is added
complication to make this change. I am unable to see how it makes NetBSD
better (even allowing that aesthetics are largely a matter of taste).
