I had to do something similar when using a keyboard that didn't have the F1 etc keys. My solution was to remap the keyboard to use a key combination I did have. The general solution is like this: First create a new keymap. keydump > new.keydump edit new keymap so your selected key combo switches to an alternate console example: Modify the alt-shift-1 key combination to select console 1. vi new.keydump Change shift alt keycode 2 = Meta_exclam to shift alt keycode 2 = Console_1 Then load the modified keymap. loadkeys new.keydump So now hitting shift-alt-1 should switch to console 1. Good luck.
