That's exactly how my /etc/inittab looks like and ps -e shows all 6
getty's running.
I have to admid I tested with an USB-keyboard so far. I just connected
an PS/2-keyboard which allows to switch with Windowskey-F1..F6. The
question is now where did this redefinition of the keys happen and why
doens't the USB-keyboard work?
