does 'mount' show /dev/pts as mounted?
root@newone[~]$ mount | grep pts
ptsdevice on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0622)

what happens when you try to 'mount /dev/pts'?

sure you did compile support for devpts into your kernel?
charecter devices -> unix98 PTY support, and
filesystems -> /dev/pts filesystem for unix98 ptys
