actually, kernel Configure.help says that devfs includes pts support,
and I have /dev/pts here without having devpts compiled in. I have the
same "mesg" complaint though, since the default behaviour of the
package was changed to "don't save ownership/permissions of pts devices". This
change has finally resolved the problem of wrong ownership of pts
devices, but has triggered the mesg warning.
Also, from devfs README:
"Note that you no longer need to mount devpts if you use Unix98 PTYs,
as devfs can manage /dev/pts itself. This saves you some RAM, as you
don't need to compile and install devpts. "
