You need to add additional getty entries to /etc/inittab, and tell
init to notice ('telinit q' as root works well here). You also need
to make sure that your X server and a getty don't try to use the same
virtual console, or else it's Really Bad (TM) (as in, your system is
unusable if you can't log in remotely or through a dumb terminal or
something like that); check your X display manager's configuration
file for details, and be really careful when upgrading.
(ObGrr: I think it's annoying that gdm has vt07 hardcoded in its
config file, since this causes this sort of lossage if I'm using
vt01...vt09 as text terminals and I go ahead and tell dpkg to replace
gdm.conf. Sigh.)
