Apparently 8 is the next available VT on my system.
% ll tty0 tty8
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           10 2004-01-15 01:51 tty0 
-> /dev/vc/19
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root            9 2004-01-15 01:49 tty8 
-> /dev/vc/8

It works now.   I'm not sure why /dev/tt0 is needed (doesn't seem to 
matter what it is linked to), but without it kdrive won't start.  At 
least now I can play around.  :-)
