I only know FreeBSD up to now (but will have NetBSD on my Acorn Risc PC at home very soon) so maybe it's not the same but I think it is. You switch with ALT-F1 to (for exmaple, if you have 4 virtual terminals) ALT-F4. Probably, you'll have to add more entries to /etc/tty before. Under X, you switch with CTRL-ALT-<F-key> and back to X with ALT and the first F-key that's not occupied by a virtual terminal. Hope this helps MB
