I last met *bsd in England almost two years ago, where I installed 386BSD 
0.1. I've now  built a kernel with SYSCONS in it, and have 8 virtual 
terminals in /dev; but I can't switch!

I used the SYSCONS config. as my base, and ran MAKEDEV afterwards.

What am I missing in order to get it working? There doesn't seem to be 
anything in the man pages or the FAQ's. Any pointers would be welcome.

Thanks

Jason
