Is getty running on the 8th console? Note nothing else should be
running on the console. The entry in /etc/ttys should be like

ttyE7   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   off secure

You should also configure your Xserver to use screen number 8, for
example by  editing /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers (or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers)
to contain something like:

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt08
