I think what that other guy said about this was right. Check the settings
for kernel debugging in the config file.

Don't let this fool you. These don't refer to /dev/tty[1-4]

Now, there's your console.

Uncomment as many of these as you would like for VTs for your console.
Since you installed with a serial console originally, the install
process is smart/nice enough to comment these out for you, since you
didn't have a real console. I usually run 4, but 6 is the default.
The "T0" line below refers to your "first" serial port, and configures a
getty, or login, for it.
