Handbook Section: 4.2.1 | Suggested Revision(s)

[Nick Casey]

Section 4.2.1, "Virtual Consoles", recommends using Alt+F# for accessing
the virtual consoles outlined by /etc/ttys. I found, using 10.1-RELEASE
with a generic AMD64 kernel and NVIDIA's GeForce 500 Series (non-notebook)
driver, that said advice is insufficient. Me and several others have found
that using Ctrl+Alt+F# is effective in this regard.
