It's not pretty but the mechanisms in sysvinit-inittab assume the
console device name is tty*. The Xen console device doesn't meet
this criteria.

Similarly handy if you're building Xen guest VMs is throwing
USE_VT = "0"
SERIAL_CONSOLES = ""
into one of your conf files (I'm using a distro conf) to keep your
machine config from putting a physical serial device that your VM won't
have in the inittab. Messages about init sleeping for 30 seconds on
account of gettys restarting too quickly get old fast.
