Note that on the netbsd-3 branch, the only reference to ptyfs in any
kernel config file for any arch is in i386/conf/GENERIC.MPACPI where
it says:
#file-system PTYFS # experimental - /dev/ptm support
and mount_ptyfs(8) says:
BUGS
This filesystem may not be NFS-exported. This filesystem is experimen-
tal.
