[comp.unix.ultrix] black-on-black console messages

Hi folks,

	We have a DECstation 5000/200 here, running Ultrix 4.0.  It  a
greyscale monitor 
attached.  Whenever a message is sent to the console, it appears as (we
guess) black
text on a black background.   How can I cure this?   Any suggestions?

				Thanks in advance,
				Bryan

DITTO!!!  We also have a DECstation 5000/200 running Ultrix 4.0 with a greyscalemonitor (CX?).  The console also gets black on black text.  Anybody tried to fix
this problem as well?  Thanks.
