I notice what appears to be an incompatibility under some circumstances between fstab and MAKEDEV.
- /etc/fstab has an entry for the mount point /dev/pts - /dev/pts is not created as part of system installation (unlike /dev/altq and /dev/fd, which are empty directories) - /dev/pts is instead created by MAKEDEV when ptm devices are created, which is part of all) but not init) This means that /dev created by init on a memory filesystem will not contain /dev/pty (or the ptm* devices). There are at least several solutions to this: - create an empty /dev/pts directory during installation as is done for /dev/altq and /dev/fd. - teach init) to also create the ptm devices - remove the ptyfs entry from /etc/fstab - ... ? The first option seems simplest, but if the ptm* devices should always be available and ptyfs is supposed to work in all cases, then the second option is required. What is the best way forward?
