Hello Chris!

On my system that was installed on Jan, 24
the services are _not_ enabled by default

$ svcs -a|grep -i vt
disabled       20:57:27 svc:/system/vtdaemon:default
disabled       20:57:27 svc:/system/console-login:vt2
..
disabled       20:57:27 svc:/system/console-login:vt6

So you have to enable them after installation:
svcadm enable svc:/system/vtdaemon:default

.. and Udo is right, i made a mistake, the keys to be pressed are

CTRL-ALT-F1 for the firstVT
CTRL-ALT-F2 for the 2nd VT
..

*Uups* - These VT won't be there on an UEFI System - just at this moment 
looking at a black screen after pressing CRTL-ALT-F1

dmesg says:
console-kit-daemon[512]: [ID 702911 daemon.warning] WARNING: signal 
"open_session_request" (from "OpenSessionRequest") exported but not 
found in object class "CkSeat"

Be sure to use LEGACY boot option - if you have..


Greetings,

Stephan
