Are you running Xenix or UNIX?

You're supposed to have getty's sitting on the vt's (via UNIX inittab).  
Take a look at /etc/gettydefs to find the definitions that have the 
"VT0x!login" prompts.  If you're using a reasonably recent version of
386/ix or AT&T UNIX (I think) there is a sysadm menu to change the
number of virtual terminals.
