I tried, but messed something up. What I did was modify the lines:
ttyE0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 on 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
to state "on" instead of off. Now the console is somehow broken - some
characters get 'lost', at times it becomes unresponsive, etc. (It did
say something like 'device unavailable /dev/ttyE0..E3' but I lost the
actual error message. I have /dev/ttyE0..E7 and /dev/E7cfg present.
Can you send me a sample of your file?
