Just solved this one myself about an hour ago ;)

You need to have
Character devices/Unix 98 PTY support
configured in the kernel, as well as
File systems/pseudo filesystems//dev/pts file system for Unix98 PTYs

You then need to mount devpts with the command:
mount none /dev/pts -t devpts
or the equivalent entry in /etc/fstab

Some clarification can be found here:
