add lines to /etc/ttys like:
# Virtual terminals
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/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on secure
ttyv6   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on  secure
ttyv7   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  off secure             

cd /dev
./MAKEDEV vty8


kill -HUP 1

restart the X server
