You have to activate the console services:

online         Apr_14   svc:/system/vtdaemon:default
online         Apr_14   svc:/system/console-login:vt2
online         Apr_14   svc:/system/console-login:vt5
online         Apr_14   svc:/system/console-login:vt3
online         Apr_14   svc:/system/console-login:vt6
online         Apr_14   svc:/system/console-login:vt4

What is Alt-Ctrl-Fx in X11 becomes Alt-Fx on the virtual
console to get back.

Hope that helps.
