Looks like so on linux but you can certainly be excused for picking it
up from somewhere. On OpenBSD you have a /dev/console (I guess like tty0
on linux) and tty0 comes up from ctrl-alt-f1.

You also have OpenBSD 5.0 releases

Linux kernels start with 3.2.1 not 3.2.0

The Human vs computer friendly argument, I guess.



p.s.

I noticed this the other day but figured I had said and repeated enough
about systemd but as ttys have come up I will mention it.


"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init"

"Aside from runlevels 0, 1, and 6, every Unix and Unix-like system
treats runlevels a little differently. The common denominator is
the /etc/inittab file, which defines what each runlevel does (if they
do anything at all)."


So it seems systemd has achieved the opposite (maybe
for a good reason, I do not know) on one of it's goals and I would say
the main driving force behind it of unifying init system control in
this case at the very least.
