Two things which aren't clear in your message:

1) Did you actually compile and install a kernel between changing the
   kernel config file and rebooting?

2) Have you actually created the device nodes for the newly supported
   pseudo-terminals?  The command

	ls /dev/pty* | wc -l

   should return 64.  Does it?  If not, use the /dev/MAKEDEV script to
   create them, as per the FAQ:

	http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/admin.html#AEN2215

   Note that MAKEDEV creates device nodes for psuedo-terminals in sets
   of 32.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
