What devices do you have under /dev?

You should make sure that (in guest):
- /etc/inittab does not spawn unwanted gettys
- /dev does not contain /dev/tty* used by host
- /dev is clean of other "host-only" devices

Did you do etc-update cleaning up everything? (also removing all 
config-protected orphean files of baselayout) Reconfiguration of ttys by the 
guest is probably not wanted.

You should still be able to access your host using ssh, even if the guest 
grabbed the local ttys. (CTRL+ALT+DEL) on the keyboard should still send the 
signal to host's init to.

Best,
Bruno
