Actually, no. I know how it is setup in software. I'm wondering 
what "physical" or virtual device I use to talk to (a)getty once the software 
is setup. Eg, if there is a getty variant on /dev/ttyS0, I better have a 
terminal or modem I'm talking with. If it's /dev/ttyn, I'm talking to a 
virtual console accessed with ctrl-alt-n. Where do I have to go to get this 
getty prompt to login on?

As far as thread stealing goes, I suppose the real Subject for this thread 
should be "Where is the documentation for the devices added since the 3.0 
documentation?", like xvda, xvc0, etc.
