not able to output anything to /dev/ttyv8?

[Zhang Weiwu]

Dear list

On Gentoo Linux I used to redirect the output of a certain app
to /dev/tty10 and switch to tty10 (by using Alt+F10)

this is useful to keep watching the application.

this doesn't work on FreeBSD. I can do
# ehco hello > /dev/ttyv8
# ehco hello > /dev/ttyv9
# ehco hello > /dev/ttyva

But Alt+F9, Alt+F10, Alt+F11 only cause the machine to beep

Possible to use /dev/ttyv9 for output device in FreeBSD? Thanks in
advance.

Best regards
