You should have lines similar to the following in /etc/inittab:
5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -f /etc/issue.ansi 38400 vc/5 linux
6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -f /etc/issue.ansi 38400 vc/6 linux
It would probably be sufficient to simply add more lines similar to these
but with the appropriate numbers, although I have never tried this.

I believe gpm allows one to do this with a mouse. I am not sure that it
can be done with the keyboard.
