[OmniOS-discuss] any way to get virtual consoles?

[Mayuresh Kathe]

hello,

i mostly use omnios to better understand unix administration with a
focus on solaris based systems.

most of my previous work has been under linux and various bsd systems.

there used to be provision to have virtual consoles which are typically
cycled through by a key-combination (ctrl + alt + fnx).

such functionality probably does not exist under omnios.
i can understand that the intended use is not as a workstation 'os',
and hence it's supposed to be accessed only over the network (ssh).
but, it would be kind-a nice to have virtual consoles, especially for
those situations when there is no alternative but to be at the physical
console and manage the system.

is there any configuration file i can edit to get that functionality?
maybe add in some package?
or would stuff like 'tmux' be the only option? it is kind-a painful. ;)

thanks,
