Well, it should also have a virtual terminal on ttyv7. When first
setting up Athena-ized NetBSD/i386, I chose ttyv6 for X11 because
Ctl-Alt-F7 is what the linux setup on quiche used. In retrospect, ttyv7
would have been a better choice, leaving ttyv0-v6 with console login
prompts.
Anybody wanna do this change now, or do we just add a login prompt to
ttyv7?
