PTY allocation request failed on channel 0

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!
