In my case on both computers that I've upgraded:
vc1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/vc/1 9600
vc2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/vc/2 9600
vc3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/vc/3 9600
vc4:234:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/vc/4 9600
vc5:234:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/vc/5 9600
vc6:234:respawn:/sbin/agetty /dev/vc/6 9600

Is what remained in this file. I had to manually change it to the correct
method. I still have one more computer to upgrade I'll note if it happens
again.
