and it appears that some /dev related devices are not created
properly. /dev/pts is definitely not created.

I had to chmod o+rw /dev/null, /dev/random and /dev/urandom in
rc.local to get some things to work properly.

Googling indicates that some entries relating to CONFIG_UNIX98_XXX
values related to the kernel have to be adapted to get things to work
properly. Where can I do this?

Are there some MAKEDEV related entries that I have to edit as well?


create /dev/pts first - if it doesnt exsist do mkdir /dev/pts
now check if /dev/tts and /dev/tty if theres something in there ,
if not try to creat them also with /sbin/makedev .
