According to the UML howto, if you make something open /dev/ptyxx in advance then you can start UML with con$n=tty:/dev/ttyxx and it will work. I haven't actually tried this, nor am I sure how aggressive you can get in just grabbing ptys without going through the library interface. I would think that higher numbered ptys (referring to the minor device number) would be less likely to be occupied, or to be mistakenly assigned by libc. James F.
