When FreeBSD starts up, you see a screen (on an IBM PC )
with a heading line that says:
FreeBSD/i386 (Amnesiac) (ttyv0)
It is followed by a blank line and a "login:" line. There are 7 other
like screens with heading lines that differ in the digit following
"ttyv", in those it ranges from 1 to 7 . One moves from one of these screens to the one that announced itself as ttyvj by depressing
an Alt key and the function key labelled j+1 simultaneously.
If one is in Xwindows , one switches to screen ttyvj by depressing
Ctrl & Alt keys and the function key labelled j+1 simultaneously. One can return to the Xwindows screen by depressing an Alt key and
the function key labelled 9 simultaneously.
Is there a command that tells one on which screen one now
sits, and if so what is its path-name? Where are these screens
set up, and can one change that, say adding new screens?
