Check your /etc/inittab for a section that looks like this:
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 am guessing that your's doesn't have 5 in the second section of each
line.  Add it and that should cause the terminals to be spawned as well
in a runlevel 5 environment.  If that's not the case.. well then....
google is your friend :)
