I'm not sure, but I believe that the following commands will create the vc's
(which is not what you want):

                   echo -ne "\033(K" > /dev/vc/${x}
or
                   echo -ne "\033(K" > /dev/tty${x}
in /etc/init.d/consolefont (in case you don't have consolechars)

By delimiting ${x} to the number of VC's you want you make sure that the
kernel only starts that number of xterms when loading the UML...

Wkr,
