My code worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04 with emacs 24.3.1. But one thing
about it is that the erlang buffer was not the focus if I specified a file
to visit on the emacs command line at startup. The code below doesn't have
that problem, and for me it does exactly what you're requesting.

(require 'erlang-start)
(add-hook
 'emacs-startup-hook
 '(lambda ()
    (let ((f (make-frame)))
      (with-selected-frame f
        (erlang-shell)
        (delete-other-windows (display-buffer erlang-shell-buffer-name))))))
