System: NetBSD guava.araneus.fi
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:

When running sysinst from -current on the VGA console of an i386
system, the text is shown in white on a blue background, but those
parts of the screen that do not contain text are not blue as they
should be, but black.  This is unsightly.  See the screenshot in
<http://www.gson.org/netbsd/bugs/sysinst-bg/screenshot.gif>.  This
happens both on physical machines and in qemu; it does not happen
when installing 3.0.

>How-To-Repeat:

Either try to install -current on a physical i386 machine, or do this:

  pkg_add qemu
  ftp ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/200601220000Z/i386/installation/floppy/boot-big.fs
  qemu -m 64 -fda boot-big.fs -boot a

>Fix:

Not known.  I don't even know if this is a bug in sysinst, curses,
termcap, or wscons.

 I'd bet on the effect of some recent changes to the way libcurses
 handles attributes.

 (I've been testing sysinst on a system with a serial console recently)
