Adding more virtual terminals in runlevel 2
I saw that there were a few posts about removing virtual terminals in the past, but I'm interested in adding a few more. I'd like at least eight, but twelve or more would be nice.
I looked at the man page for ttys, but I didn't understand which part mapped the virtual terminal to a key.
Here's the man page. It looks like it's just a little script.
mknod -m 660 /dev/ttyS0 c 4 64 # base address 0x03f8
mknod -m 660 /dev/ttyS1 c 4 65 # base address 0x02f8
mknod -m 660 /dev/ttyS2 c 4 66 # base address 0x03e8
mknod -m 660 /dev/ttyS3 c 4 67 # base address 0x02e8
chown root:tty /dev/ttyS[0-3]
Can I just add a few lines here to add some more virtual terminals, at least up to seven?

no.
ls /dev/tty*
should show you, that they're already prepared.
You add them in inittab:
Code:
# /sbin/getty invocations for the runlevels.
#
# The "id" field MUST be the same as the last
# characters of the device (after "tty").
#
# Format:
# <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process>
1:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6
8:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty8
9:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty9
10:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty10
tty7 is usually used for X11 so leave it out.
Misguided knoppixuses decided to boot with X11 on tty3 or 5.
Gee!
Pfui![/code]
