Hello !
Have a look at the file /etc/inittab. There you should find a few lines like
these:
# /sbin/getty invocations for the runlevels.
#
# The "id" field MUST be the same as the last

#
# Format:
# :::
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/

I don't think it's hard-coded because I've had X running on tty8 before
