Hi all. I'm new to NetBSD, I run it on a VMWARE machine for now. My 
question is, how do I switch between virtual consoles? I do that with 
ctrl-alt-Fx on Linux but it doesnt work on NetBSD.

My /etc/wscons:

#screen 0       -       vt100
screen  1       -       vt100
screen  2       -       vt100
screen  3       -       vt100

ps ax:

443 E1 Is+  0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyE1
463 E2 Is+  0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyE2
412 E3 Is+  0:00.02 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyE3

/etc/ttys:

# name  getty                           type    status          comments
#
console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt100   on secure
ttyE0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   off secure
ttyE1   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   on secure
ttyE2   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   on secure
ttyE3   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   on secure

What am I doing wrong?
