That message is not from runit, did you post your complete stage 3
script, or only a top part of it?

Hmm.  If you have a getty service running on console 1, I suggest to
disable this service, login on console 2, run `init 6`, then immediately
logout from console 2, and switch to console 1.  Does this change
anything?

If not, I would do the following:  login on console 2 only, no other
login.  Take down all services but the getty-2 service manually, and
make sure they're down.  Then reboot by running `init 6`, logout from
console 2 and switch to console 1.

BTW, what operating system are you using?

HTH, Gerrit.
