You mean it doesn't?  IMO that definitely needs to be fixed; if I
configure my kernel with

options 	RASTERCONSOLE
options 	RASTERCONSOLE_FGCOL=WSCOL_WHITE
options 	RASTERCONSOLE_BGCOL=WSCOL_BLACK

it seems to me the kernel should do whatever is necessary to get me
white text on a black field when using the console.

use-nvramrc? is set false and nvramrc is empty, so I guess not. :-)
Does this fix the weirded-out-console problem?
