>Description:
Firstly, ``allscreens_flags'' is not documented in rc.conf(5).

Secondly, with the following options set in rc.conf:

  font8x8="iso-8x8.fnt"
  allscreens_flags="-r black green 80x60 green black"

all ttyv's switch to 80x60 mode, but only ttyv0 gets the colour changed.

>How-To-Repeat:
Add the above mentioned ``font8x8'' and ``allscreens_flags'' to your
rc.conf file.  Reboot, then notice only ttyv0 is green.

>Fix:
/etc/rc.i386 looks like it attempts to do the right thing with regards
to applying vidcontrol to /dev/ttyv*, but I guess the redirection may
have something to do with it.
