You need to have pty support enabled in your kernel as well as
/dev/pts support. Then you need a new entry in /etc/fstab looking
like:

none            /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0

If required create /dev/pts directory.

For further details see the documentation to pty support within the
kernel source tree.
