inittab solaris

Hi!
Is it possible to add more ttys in Solaris, like with inittab in Linux? I want to switch between the ttys with Alt F1+F2+F3 .... like Linux does.
How can i do this?

Hi Donald,

Adding more tty's is a kernel adaption which should be mentioned in the system-file (Search sunsolve for the exact param). This will event after the first reboot.

I know the switch from window is possible from out of CDE, Sun has it's own keyboard using a front and back button, also a kind of windows <Alt> + <Tab> should be on there. I don't know the exact working when you don't have the Sun Keyboard.
