The normal Sysvinit, has 7 tty all with a terminal login as well as the normal graphical login. How do i get these terminal logins to appear in EINIT.

actually the defaults depend on the distribution, and 6 is the most common (tty1-6 + x). in modes.xml (or wherever you set up your modes), just modify the <ttys /> elements accordingly. if they don't show up at all, it's the good ole bootup-not-complete issue, which means you need to either figure out why its not getting to 100% or just move the ttys definition outside of the modes...

you might wanna hop onto irc on freenode #kyuba, syntropy's pretty good at getting people started
