Did you actually configure gettys on the serial lines? Normally there are
none, only on the virtual consoles.

Usually, the easiest way to do it is to use con=xterm, where each virtual
console comes up in its own xterm. If you're not running under X, the next
best thing is to use con=pts, where you will see similar messages on the
console indicating that a pty has been assigned to those virtual consoles,
and you can use screen(1) to attach to them, for example:
screen /dev/pts/10
