  gone in what way? works fine here but I haven't dist-upgrade'd in few
days.

  check /etc/inittab, there should be something like this:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6

  also check default run level (same file):

# The default runlevel.
id:2:initdefault:

  on a related note, the switching to virtual consoles (from X) doesn't
work on my sparcstation running debian stable (potato). it works few
times (I think), then keyboard goes all crazy (when I type there are
strange characters appearing on the screen and I cannot switch to
different virtual consoles anymore). any ideas?
