I thought 2.6.0 streamlined devfs and didn't include /dev/pts.  maybe our
mountall.sh script should know this: if it detects a 2.6 kernel mount
devpts as well.

Of course, I can't get my network card to work in -test yet, so I'm just
speaking from rumor until I do (I haven't tried it since -test1 though).
