I'm assuming you actually need a console connection and not a
VTY connection. (A VTY connection is easily done by using the
'session' command).

If you need a true console connection to the MSFC on the second
supervisor, I believe the only way is to pull the blade out,
connect a console cable to the on-board console port, let the
cable go round the back of the blade and under it to a free slot
in the box.
