The Virtual Terminals Daemon provides for "the system console" (chosen via kernel boot-time options or eeprom=bootenv.rc),  and 5 virtual terminals on the physial console. This allows to set the default console to be serial, while a random "vt[2-6]" terminal would invite to login on the screen+kbd. However, if the default console is physical, there are no login invitations on a serial port.

This RFE proposes to add SMF instance definitions for svc:/system/console-login:terma and svc:/system/console-login:termb (to mirror the names added in Solaris 11), and to take care in the method script to not start (self-temp-disable?) the service if the system console is the same serial terminal line.
