Kevin,

actually, don't you see a complete boot process of you Linux VM? that "login:" 
is 
the login prompt of your VM. What do you expect? "-c" says you want the VM 
console, and you get it. I you know no other idea of how to get ot of the 
console, 
log in to the Dom0, locate the console process and kill it.

Ulrich
