The method you're using in FreeBSD requires too much effort for a quick fix that might be temporory. I suggest using "vidcontrol green black" in your shell config file. you can set the cursor to destructive with "vidcontrol -c destructive" or make it blink as a box. you can also use vidcontrol from the command line to achieve these effects. "man vidcontrol" and play with it. otherwise, change the /etc/rc.conf in FreeBSD to include allscreens_flags="green black" to init the whole thing in those colors.
I'm playing around with OpenBSD, which I just installed last night on my HP_Pavillion and seeing what damage I can do before I learn something useful.
