You don't have likely devfs (so you must change the init script), or it's 
simply because it's trying to set the user font.

Hey, it's a virtual console, we can't do that (how do you do that on a pty,
or 
a network port, for instance? On a xterm it's different but I guess nobody 
will work on that)
Disable that service

Again, virtual keyboard, no key mappings needed, disable this service.

Ok, this is interesting, and causes all the rest (except maybe the SIO* one,

seems it refers to bridging, so also make sure you've compiled bridging in
on 
the guest).

Check you have enabled UML networking (in particular the daemon transport, 
since you're using it). Also double check your syntax for eth0 devices on 
command line. And do "ifconfig eth0" to see if the device doesn't exist 
altogether or just setting it up failed.

Finally, make sure you're running the daemon!

Without network, it makes sense.
