As an example to make multiscreen 3 come up like this just put
"vidi e80x43 </dev/tty03" in /etc/rc (or probably /etc/rc.d/8/userdefs).

To have this also work with programs that use termcap/terminfo/curses
you also need to change the line in /etc/ttytype to "ansi43 tty03"
and add the line "43|ansi43:li#43:tc=ansi:" to your /etc/termcap file
and change the terminfo database similarly.
