You didn't specify which version you installed.
there are a couple different ways to configure multiple virtual
consoles.
Here's the simplest:
- edit /etc/rc.conf, changing
wscons=NO
to
wscons=YES
- edit /etc/ttys and change "off" to "on" for the ttyE{1,2,3}
lines.
If you want more than four (up to eight), edit /etc/wscons.conf and
/etc/ttys to add lines for the virtual consoles you want to use.
Reboot to test.
