Thanks for your help, but these changes don't seem to have any effect - first I tried the steps you gave explicitly, but I came up with several errors -
mknod /dev/ttyF{cfg,stat} ... requires an option from d, c, or p - I tried this with c, as it was the only option that made sense for the values you gave.
The unit sizes are also different to the "ttyE..." devices on my system - I tried with the sizes you specified, and with the same sizes as "ttyE..."
/usr/sbin/wsconscfg -f /dev/ttyFcfg -t radeon 0
returns either: "wsconscfg: screen N is already configured" or "wsconscfg: WSDISPLAYIO_ADDSCREEN: Device not configured"
What was I supposed to get from rc.local?

The final thing I tried was to set the second "device" to /dev/ttyE1, but no change to the display for any of these settings

Thanks
