or use agetty instead:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
2:23:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
3:2:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
4:2:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
5:2:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
6:2:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
working fine for me.

Why Linux? source code. POSIX. tcpip. job control. support from the authors.
drivers for most hardware. because one terminal or process is never enough.
forget the other O/Ss, i use Linux- the choice of a GNU generation.
