What the UML console driver is trying to do is run an xterm on the
*host*, where you have no $DISPLAY.  If you want your consoles in
xterms, then give it a DISPLAY.  If not, then see the consoles
section of

        http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/configure.html

The only thing the UML inittab does is control how many consoles are
activated.  It does nothing to control how they are attached to the host.
