How to open second (and third, forth etc) screen directly on console.
Something like Ctrl-Alt-F1 (F2, F3 etc) on Intel and Linux.

The Solaris console driver does not support virtual consoles on any
sparc release - the alternative is to download and install GNU screen.

Only on Solaris 7 & earlier.  See the FAQs for details.

Before Solaris 8, Solaris x86 supports the standard SysV/386
console switching Alt+PrtSc-H, Alt+PrtSc-F1, Alt+PrtSc-F2, etc.
See the Solaris FAQ.

From Solaris 8, Solaris x86 has the sparc console driver so
it gets USB keyboard support. Sparc never supported the SysV/386
console switching.
