I wonder about this "console aliases" issue also (in general).
Which devices should the getty processes open?  /dev/console
or all the real devices to which /dev/console might point?

Having getty run only on the real devices makes all the devices
work for login regardless of which is considered the console.
Are there arguments for the other way?
