If you're getting a graphical login (an X session manager login), altering those lines won't help; you'd need to change the default runlevel at the top of inittab to a lower value (usually 3 for console, 4 for X) then change them.

Within X, it's usually Ctrl-Alt-F<foo> to change virtual consoles -- if Ctrl-Alt-F2 gives you a graphical command line, it could actually be a console prompt on a framebuffer console. Some distros do this (stick the screen in graphics mode during boot, then run an Xvfb server) -- Slackware 8.0 appears to. Regards, Ben A L Jemmett.
