ummm I did:
mknod /dev/ftty0 c 13 96
mknod /dev/ftty1 c 13 96
mknod /dev/ftty2 c 13 96
...

I never used mknod before and after 1 hour of searching I couldn't find 
documentation on what I needed to run exactly. I scanned the man page of 
mknod, searched google, read the doctument about multiple X, and the only 
thing I could find on this mailing list about it was the "mknod /dev/ftty0 c 
13 96" in the 0.04 release notes. Where is this information that I missed?

Anyhow, did it like you said above and now it picks up the other keyboards. 
Sorry for my ignorance in this area and I appreciate the help, keep up the 
good work!

Now to get a dual core Ath64, dual PCIe 16x, raid SATA, and dual 1gig sticks 
of ram some day...

Thanks!
