The /dev/MAKEDEV script can make these devices for you. Just type

	cd /dev
	sh MAKEDEV ptyX

where `X' is a number in the range 0-7, corresponding to the set
of 32 tty/pty nodes you wish to create:

	0	ttyp0-ttypv, ptyp0-ptypv
	1	ttyq0-ttyqv, ptyq0-ptyqv
	2	ttyr0-ttyrv, ptyr0-ptyrv
	etc

You may also need to add corresponding entries to /etc/ttys, if
they are not present already.
