Bug Description

The error message: "Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)" appears multiple times while building a VM with revision 324 of the trunk and the commandline "sudo ./vmbuilder vbox ubuntu --suite=jaunty --iso=/path/to/ubuntu-9.04-server-i386.iso" on jaunty.

The build itself works nevertheless but this message doesn't build confidence and there could be a deeper issue.

I've left the binding/unbinding code in dapper.py but I think it should probably be lifted into a higher level module. For now, the latest commit on the referenced branch fixes this issue.

If any of the project maintainers would prefer, I can move the bind/unbind code elsewhere; maybe shuffling it into disk.py would make sense so that all filesystems/disks are mounted and unmounted in unison.

I actually pulled this code up into VMBuilder/vm.py last night since I needed it for something else. I'll push the relevant changes into this branch and then you guys can let me know if you prefer it somewhere else.
