That reminds me of another issue...

I have some sever boxes booting in text mode, by making default.target
point to multi-user.target.
I have no getty spawned for tty1, so they look strange, boot messages
remain in screen.
Why is getty for tty1 missing ?

annwn:/lib/systemd/system# ps -ef | grep getty
root      2525     1  0 Feb13 tty3     00:00:00 /sbin/agetty tty3 38400
root      2530     1  0 Feb13 tty2     00:00:00 /sbin/agetty tty2 38400
root      2534     1  0 Feb13 tty5     00:00:00 /sbin/agetty tty5 38400
root      2539     1  0 Feb13 tty6     00:00:00 /sbin/agetty tty6 38400
root      2542     1  0 Feb13 tty4     00:00:00 /sbin/agetty tty4 38400
root     32761 32556  0 23:00 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color getty
annwn:/lib/systemd/system# ps -ef | grep dm
root      2470     1  0 Feb13 ?        00:00:00 rpc.idmapd
root     32763 32556  0 23:00 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color dm

TIA!
