Hello,

I want to expand my virtual console from default 3 active and 1 inactive to
much more.  I have done :
1) compiling kernel with option MAXCONS=16 ( more than needed )
2) edit ttys to following :

ttyv0	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25	on  secure
ttyv1	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25	on  secure
ttyv2	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25	on  secure
ttyv3	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25	on  secure
ttyv4	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25	on  secure
ttyv5   "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm	off secure
ttyv6	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25	on  secure
ttyv7	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25	on  secure
ttyv8	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25	off  secure
ttyv9	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25	on  secure
ttyv10	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25	on  secure
ttyv11	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25	on  secure

But it complained that it can't start tty4-11... what's should i do more ?

I want to have virtual console active from F1-F5, F6 for xwindows, F7-F8
reserved, F9 syslog messgae, F10-12 reserved.

Please let me know what i'm lacking, Thank you
