Hello

Thanks for mentioning that. I just did that prior to the email. Do you know how 
to reload the new inittab? The odd thing.. is that the original (previous to 
baselayout) inittab had the following (nothing commented out)

-rw-r--r--  1 root root  1791 Jan  5  2006 inittab

# TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux

I commented out c2-c6 in the new..

-rw-r--r--  1 root        root      1650 Aug 29 09:42 inittab

# TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
#c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
#c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
#c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
#c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
#c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux

Thanks for the reply!
