I believe that it's a shell programming restriction, but the virtual terminals aren't created by passing their proper name to MAKEDEV. Instead you need to use MAKEDEV vty#, where # is the number you want. (DON'T use a or b if you decide to make device 11 or 12 - it makes the shell go freaky-freaky, uses up all the swap... it's pretty neat. use vty11 and vt12)
