Which part is failing? Switching the consoles to UTF-8 mode? The locale stuff is still in there, I just changed the code to switch each VC to UTF-8 mode only once, at bootup. Before, each time you'd login you would see a stream of 'G' characters, because locale.sh was echoing "\033%G" to the console twelve times.

I followed Gentoo's example for switching consoles.

I don't use unicode. If you can tweak rc.sysinit to switch the consoles without echoing all the G characters, please send me the patch.

fixed in rc.sysinit update, added the echo thing again without the seq 1-12 now vc's work after login.
