exit /etc/inittab
replace the line 
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now
with
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/usr/bin/chvt 1

replace /usr/bin/chvt with the correct path of chvt
the 1 stands for `ctrl+alt  + F1' for `ctrl+alt  + F2' make it 2

save the file and issue the command `init q'.

for more information 'man chvt' and 'man inittab'
