A programm running in the background must not attempt to perform any
I/O to the terminal, otherwise it gets a STOP signal.

If you want to run UML in the background you will have to: (warning: untested)

1) redirect the initial boot console output to a file:

    umlinux .... > boot.log

2) use the "con=..." option to start the Linux consoles in a XTerm, or
   network port, or anything that does not do I/O in the shell
   terminal.

best regards,
