Maybe I'm spoiled, because the (Free)BSD console(s)

Guess I'm going to have to build all that into OI.
Fire up services
online 2018 svc:/system/vtdaemon:default
online 2018 svc:/system/console-login:vt4
online 2018 svc:/system/console-login:vt6
online 2018 svc:/system/console-login:vt3
online 2018 svc:/system/console-login:vt5
online 2018 svc:/system/console-login:vt2
and you have what you want (note: Its alt only on the console, ctrl-alt in
X)
alt-f 1 to 6 gives a new console, alt-f7 graphical desktop (if X is
running).
Thanks! I don't have any of that here. This sort of thing is
controlled by /etc/ttys on FreeBSD. I'm not sure what the equivalent
is on OI. Will have to look around and see what I can find.
Seems odd to me your listing above isn't initiated by default.
Thanks again! :-)

Hello Chris!
On my system that was installed on Jan, 24
the services are _not_ enabled by default
$ svcs -a|grep -i vt
disabled 20:57:27 svc:/system/vtdaemon:default
disabled 20:57:27 svc:/system/console-login:vt2
..
disabled 20:57:27 svc:/system/console-login:vt6
So you have to enable them after installation:
svcadm enable svc:/system/vtdaemon:default
.. and Udo is right, i made a mistake, the keys to be pressed are
CTRL-ALT-F1 for the firstVT
CTRL-ALT-F2 for the 2nd VT
..
*Uups* - These VT won't be there on an UEFI System - just at this moment
looking
at a black screen after pressing CRTL-ALT-F1
dmesg says:
console-kit-daemon[512]: [ID 702911 daemon.warning] WARNING: signal
"open_session_request" (from "OpenSessionRequest") exported but not found in
object class "CkSeat"
Be sure to use LEGACY boot option - if you have..
Thank you, Stephan!
Yep. sudo svcadm enable vtdaemon
followed by
for i in 2 3 4 5 6 ; do sudo svcadm enable console-login:vt$i; done;
gets it. :-)
Thanks again!
Greetings,
Stephan
