There have been some problems related to pdisable/penable versus
using SMIT.  I'd suggest trying the SMIT command to enable a TTY
for login.

You may want to check the contents of your /etc/inittab file to
see if the penable command is putting the correct line in that
file.  Also, you need to get PTF 3003 as it includes fixes to
other commands as well.
