  Yes thats a common problem.

  We don't have that problem, I checked already.  The old script did two things:

    1.  Converted tty[1-9] -> console
    2.  Commented out everything but the first "getty" process.

  I've just updated the script to only apply the second change.  On
 the test instance I created to test that job control was working I
 received the following /etc/inittab file section:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
#2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
#3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
#4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
#5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
#6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6

  So that is as-expected.
