I had that same problem when /dev/ptmx (I think) was missing. It seems
to be some sort of multiplexer for ptys. I am not sure of it's exact
function.

If you experience problems, you probably need to find a better entropy
source.

Sounds like the /dev/pts issue solar mentioned a few mails back. Make
sure /dev/pts exists, and you have it mounted as devpts (mount devpts
/dev/pts -t devpts), and see if that fixes it.
