One is supposed to be able to switch consoles with a keystroke combination, usually clover-control-FkeyN IIRC. Sometimes this works, sometimes not, and seems to have varied over the years going back to the early Linux/PPC distributions I've run. It seems to vary from machine to machine, and from time to time on one machine. (in this case I'm not using the latest and greatest, we're talking older 604 machines with G3 upgrades, adb keyboards, YDL3/yum-updated, and runlevel 3 only).

I'm less interested in hacking through and fixing the root cause. I'm more interested if there is a workaround, like a command I can do in one console that switches me to another. Does a suite of commands for tty manipulation exist? I aproposed tty and googled a bit, but came up blank.
