bogus tty entry

[Luke Davis]

Yes, the devices are there to make you ask questions.
The man page for inittab is there to give answers.

Look in /etc/inittab.
You will see getty entries for tty0-tty5.  Duplicate the last of these
entries, making the appropriate changes to numbers, for each additional
virtual console you require.

Then run:

telinit q
