The thrust of my question is where does the getty prompt show up. I get the 
concept  of using 'xm console' for a domu, but does anyone know why it's in 
fedora's dom0 setup? Where would I find the getty prompt corresponding to 
dom0's xvc0? 

It may turn out that inittab and securetty should *not* be setup in a dom0, 
which would solve another problem: When I boot into the non-xen kernel on 
fedora fc8, I get the following repeated syslog message, since obviously 
there is no xvc0 in the non-xen-kernel:

Jan 27 00:24:38 Insp6400 init: Id "co" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 
minutes
Jan 27 00:31:24 Insp6400 init: Id "co" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 
minutes

etc.
