If you now reboot, you will get six virtual consoles with a login prompt on each. But of course, the console client is not started automatically yet, so you don't see them. Login at the normal system console, and try to attach to the console server, either with the ncurses driver or with the vga/pc\_kbd driver: - # console -d ncursesw /dev/vts + # console -d ncursesw /dev/vcs or - # console -d vga -d pc_kbd -d generic_speaker /dev/vts + # console -d vga -d pc_kbd -d generic_speaker /dev/vcs -That should work. The ncursesw driver supports console switching via C-w C-1 (or 2, 3, ...) and you can exit it with C-w x. But I recommend the use of the vga client on the local console. +That should work.

If you require a different encoding for your locale (like, let's say, ISO8859-2), you can specify this as an argument to the console server.
