When installing a new virtual machine (Lenny) you may get this error:

PTY allocation request failed on channel 0

stdin: is not a tty

To fix this do the following:

Add the following line to /etc/fstab (in the domU):

none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0

Then run:

mkdir /dev/pts
mount /dev/pts

Enjoy!

Leopard:
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

Tiger:
sudo lookupd -flushcache
