I have done this stept (./MAKEDEV vcs tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6);
but /dev/csv not exists (why???, have I left any ??)
In the /etc/ttys file there are references to the new terminals created:
tty1 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console
tty2 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console
..... ......... .........
but I can read ["/libexec/getty 9800" mach-color ... ] as well.
The Hurd I have installed comes from the K6 CD. (without complete
installation by net....(the ethercard is not detected by the way))
Thanks for all.

Hi David.
For me, the Alfred's trick works well (but only two ttys,
tty1 and tty2).
I think can be a "typo" but where you say:
"...but /dev/csv not exists...". Not is /dev/cvs but /dev/vcs.
Good luck.
Regards.
Jose.
