virtual consoles

[Frank Carmickle]

Hi Greg

I don't actually think there is a limit on the number of consoles one
can use.  If you want to get more then 12 you have to setup your keymap
and inittab.  There is one more step involved but it escapes me right
now.  The issue is that each of the gettys takes up a bit of memory.  Your
probably better off running screen once you get above 12 anyway.
