Hi,

Can someone please tell me how to access more than one terminal. If I'm
running FreeBSD or Linux, I can just push Alt-F1 or Alt-F2, F3, F4,
etc., to access different terminals. Using NetBSD I try this and I just
get some strange characters at the prompt on the screen.

I have tried editing /etc/ttys and changing off to on for some of the
terminals listed, but this doesn't seem to make any difference.

Thanks for your help.
