I believe FC now uses upstart (eventd) for its init system now. 
I don't have FC10 handy so will be using Ubuntu as my guide.
Directories and files may be in a different location. 

To change what getty's are started up go into /etc/event.d
and you should find a file for each instance of getty you want started.
ie) tty1, tty2, tty3......

Hope this helps you out.
