This should normally be done by the mountvirtfs init script (package initscripts). Stable doesn't have this script since it was pretty useless back when stable was born, so I guess you'll have to see how it works or try and install it along with its dependencies. The relevant output of mount is: devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) devfs should theoretically handle the rest (if you have devfsd running). -- Got Backup?
