I don't know about specific doc's but it's basically accessing virtual consoles. 1 to 6 are for text consoles, which are managed by lines in /etc/inittab like: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 which says that for runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5 start a text getty session on virtual console 1 (<CTRL>+<ALT>+<F1>) Some people actually remove this one so that any bootup messages are not splatted by the getty session clearing the screen. Consoles 7 thru 9 (0?) are for X sessions, with 7 being the first (default) X console and 8, 9, etc being additional ones.
