        which mingetty and syslogd run, that must be initialised.
        Only useful if you have some program that you want to run on
        some fixed console.  For example, the NixOS installation CD
        opens the manual in a web browser on console 7, so it sets
        <option>boot.extraTTYs</option> to <literal>["tty7"]</literal>.
