To get more ttys, I set "options MAXCONS=##" in my kernel config, ## being
thirteen in my case or whatever else you want. Then I cd'd to /dev and
went "./MAKEDEV vtyc", which made the terminal devices. Then, edit
/etc/ttys to include entries identical to that of ttyv1 for all the new
ttys. Then, "kill -HUP 1" as root and the changes to /etc/ttys will take
effect and you will have many ttys.
