NetBSD 6-STABLE: only one virtual terminal and no /dev/console: update
A recent problem I have with NetBSD, building from source, and not only in the
6-STABLE branch, now at 6.1_RC1, is only having one virtual terminal.
Pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2,Ctrl-Alt-F3, etc, has no effect.
Now with the upgrade to 6.1_RC1, there is /dev/console and /dev/constty , but
still only one virtual terminal.
I did etcupdate and postinstall.
This happens even with the GENERIC kernel.
Is there something missing in the conf/GENERIC configuration file or in
usr/src/etc/etc.i386/MAKEDEV.conf?
The only way around is to build an X window manager from pkgsrc, using xorg
from pkgsrc, having multiple desktops, such as icewm (or many others)?
