That's it? There's nothing under /dev/pts? And you have terminals |
| 10 |
running in X? |

This is possibly a problem. I am guessing that if you issue 'mount', |
| 29 |
devpts is not mounted. The mounting of that pseudo filesystem is |
| 30 |
relegated to /etc/init.d/devfs, which belongs to openrc. |

What is the output of 'rc-status sysinit'? |
