Bug#321901: base-config: openpty failed

[Shaun Jackman <sjackman@gmail.com>]

Package: debian-installer-manual

In section C.4.4.4, base-config failed...

# base-config new
Terminated
# cat /var/log/base-config.timings
openpty failed

Creating the pty device nodes...

# cd /etc
# ./MAKEDEV pty

... solved the issue for me.

Cheers,
Shaun
