NetBSD mira 10.1 NetBSD 10.1 (WII) #0: Mon Dec 16 13:08:11 UTC 2024  mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/evbppc/compile/WII evbppc
>Description:
When using the wscons framebuffer console on a Nintendo Wii, colors displayed through the tty, other than black, white, and green, are incorrect. In particular, blue is displayed as light purple. Anything using the blue-on-white color scheme, like sysinst, lynx, and Midnight Commander, becomes exceptionally hard to read.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot NetBSD/evbppc on a Nintendo Wii. Do not start X. Switch to ttyE1 with Ctrl-Alt-F2. Log in and run software that uses terminal colors, such as colorbars(6) or sysinst(8).
