Step 1 is this:
ps ax | grep getty
Here's my output:
=============================================
[slitt@mydesk ~]$ ps ax | grep getty
621 tty6 Ss+ 0:00 agetty tty6 38400 linux
622 tty5 Ss+ 0:00 agetty tty5 38400 linux
626 tty4 Ss+ 0:00 agetty tty4 38400 linux
631 tty2 Ss+ 0:00 agetty tty2 38400 linux
634 tty3 Ss+ 0:00 agetty tty3 38400 linux
4873 pts/10 R+ 0:00 grep getty
[slitt@mydesk ~]$
=============================================
However, I'm not using Devuan right now, so your mileage may vary.
Notice I'm running "agetty", not "getty", which is respawned in your
inittab. I don't remember ever seeing a Linux (as oppposed to BSD) that
ran "getty" instead of "agetty". You might need to change that.
Also, seeing whether your gettys, each of which represents one virtual
terminal, are running. If not, that tells you something.
