Incidentally, if you then want to create other Virtual Consoles
without having to type a password, from the shell that you got on
tty1 just type
open <program name>
this will launch the program <program name> on the next available
VC which in a standard inittab situation is VC7 -- so you'd hit
alt-7 to get to it and so on.
In fact this is what X does during xinit which is why the first
desktop is on VC77
