/dev/tty1-6 are  your virtual consoles (on a regular linux box, pres 
alt-f1, alt-f2, etc, to reach the other consoles)  Xen only supports one 
console.  (for xm console)  so when init tries to start getty on one of 
the other, non-existant consoles, it fails, and attempts to re-start over 
and over again (thus the respawning to fast error.)
