Go to /sys/i386/conf, edit your kernel config file (or start a new one
based on the GENERIC file) and increase the amount of ttys at the line
pseudo-device pty 32 # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc)
to suit your needs.
If you don't know anything about kernel configuration, the handbook
section 5 is a good point for beginning. Don't write a new kernel
config file from scratch, start with the GENERIC kernel config file
and change it as you need.
Regards,
Martin
