This worked.

For my example I will let the guest start on tty8 and spawn gettys on tty8 and
tty9.

Steps:
- create /dev/tty8 (major 4, minor 8)
- create /dev/tty9 (major 4, minor 9)
- create /dev/console (major 4, minor 8)
- add "c8:2345:respawn:sbin/getty 38400 tty8 linux" to inittab
- add "c9:2345:respawn:sbin/getty 38400 tty9 linux" to inittab

Then start/restart the guest and output appears as expected.

Guest is configured using init style "plain"
