yes!

link2 is indeed the money shot!

but still needs some changes.

in your /etc/gettytab

you search for this entry

P|Pc|Pc console:\
:ht:np:sp#115200:

then you copy it, and paste under it

P|Pc2|Pc console:\
:ht:np:sp#115200: Pc2:\
:ht:np:sp#115200:al=<username>:

as you see, the entry responds to the second one in the row, in this case for entry 1: Pc, and for entry 2: Pc2
now you can created as many entries as you want, i created 2 extra ones

P|Pc3|Pc console:\
:ht:np:sp#115200: Pc3:\
:ht:np:sp#115200:al=<username>:

once you saved the gettytab
you go to /etc/ttys

search
ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
and change this one (or another ttyvX) to
ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc2" cons25 on secure

in my case, i also change ttyv1 to "/usr/libexec/getty Pc3"

save the file

perform
#kill -HUP 1

system should now automaticaly log in after boot on ttyv0 with the user of entry Pc2
and on ttyv1 with user of entry Pc3

and it actually works!!


thnx optimus!
