I think we're getting closer to a solution....

I don't think I have udev enabled, so I'll have to put it somewhere
else, but I'll experiment tonight.
Thanks,

Well, I think that is my problem. /dev/pts did not exist.
I didn't start from a default buildroot system, but one that was
already cutdown for NOOBS, and probably one that did not need any
PTYs.
So I guess my next question is which options in buildroot do I need
to enable in order to support PTYs?
Is it sufficient to do 'mknod -m 0666 /dev/ptmx c 5 2' ?
I have also discovered there may be some information to be gleaned
from /proc/sys/kernal/pty/max and /proc/sys.kernel/pty/nr, so I will
look at those too.
Cheers,
Kevin

/dev/pts gets mkdir'ed and mounted by default in Buildroot since
atleast
2010, so unless Kevin has tweaked anything it should be fine.
