Actually, that will only persist on reboots. If you terminate or start a new instance of that AMI, /dev/tty2 - /dev/tty6 will need to be created each time. I added this to my /etc/rc.local and re-bundled my AMI:

if [ ! -e /dev/tty2 ]
then
mknod /dev/tty2 c 4 2
fi

if [ ! -e /dev/tty3 ]
then
mknod /dev/tty3 c 4 3
fi

if [ ! -e /dev/tty4 ]
then
mknod /dev/tty4 c 4 4
fi

if [ ! -e /dev/tty5 ]
then
mknod /dev/tty5 c 4 5
fi

if [ ! -e /dev/tty6 ]
then
mknod /dev/tty6 c 4 6
fi

Do you think this solves the problem? Mark it as solved

Fedora 10 - EC2 small - mingetty
Created a Fedora 10 EC2 small instance yesterday and noticed /var/log/messages filling. The mingetty app was complaining that /dev/tty2 - /dev/tty6 was not found even though inittab didn't mention them. Created the devices using mknod even though they aren't being used and the messages ceased.
