to set tty3 as default console

When Start linux system, the default screen will be in tty1.
Can't I change the default screen to tty2 or tty3?
(whithout Ctrl+Alt+F2)

I don't really know if that can be done, but could I ask why you would want to do such a thing? There is probably another solution to what you want to do.

yes, i do believe i remember seeing/reading about a command that can change the console, maybe tty ?, owell, just go search thru /bin and look at any program with "tty" in it, then add that program to your boot script or bash profile

The command: chvt 3

will switch to the third virtual terminal. Tack that on to the end of your local startup file, (/etc/rc.d/rc.local in Slackware, for example) and your computer should display terminal 3 on startup.
