Just a guess but I would say you might have one of two problems, either your
system doesn't have any ptyp's and/or ttyp's made in the /dev directory, this
should be easy enough to check; or your kernel may not be configured with these
drivers actually in it. To check if that is the case, assuming you find, say,
/dev/ttyp0, try and cat > /dev/ttyp0 and see if you get some message like
"no such device or address". If this does happen you are going to have to
reconfigure and build a new kernel.

If it turns out that you simply have no /dev/ttyp* or /dev/ptyp* all you have
to worry about is what majors to use and mknod them.
