I answered my own question (again).  Here is what I did to make me happy:
screen -d -m -S wbl ./linux-2.6.8 \
  mem=256M \
  ubd0=root_fs \
  ubd1=swap \
  eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.253 \
  con0=fd:0,fd:1 con1=port:9000 con2=pts con3=pts con4=pts con5=pts con6=pts

I will try and read the howto before spamming the list next time.  :)

screen -d -m -S wbl ./linux-2.6.8 \
  mem=256M \
  ubd0=root_fs \
  ubd1=swap \
  eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.253 \
  con0=fd:0,fd:1 con1=pty

It should be noted that I start my guest via ssh.  I want everything to be in my ssh window, including my login prompt.  I had this working at some point on an old installation but of course cant remember how I started that guest.

This appears to stop the xterms but my login prompt never appears in my ssh console, it just halts after init starts everything:

screen -d -m -S wbl ./linux-2.6.8 \
  mem=256M \
  ubd0=root_fs \
  ubd1=swap \
  eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.253 \
  con0fd:0,fd:1 con1=pts con2=pts con3=pts con4=pts con5=pts con6=pts

Thanks again for any assistance.

mknod, just make it look like the host's console.  But what else is your /dev
missing?

If it's a former devfs empty /dev/, you'll need block devices, ttys, null,
and a bunch of other things.
