Hi, 
You can control number of default consoles want to be given after the
startup. You will have to make changes to /etc/inittab file. The part
of the script looks like as :

# System initialization.
si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6

These are all indicates the number of console. ( 7 tty/console  are in
the above example).
You can always remove or Put "#" infront of the unwanted lines. 
For example to open only two consoles I would write :

l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1
