I captured the above ls output on serial console, but
sysinst also works fine on cgthree + keyboard.

"/sysinst" is in /.profile in instfs.tgz (or rootfs.tgz):
http://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/distrib/sparc/miniroot/dot.profile?r=1.15#74
How did you invoke sysinst?

I'm not sure why sysinst on your environment complains
about openpty, but one possibility is Linux NFS server issue.

Could you try to remove all device nodes (and leave only MAKEDEV script)
in your server's nfsroot /dev directory (and make GENERIC kernel
make tmpfs /dev files itself)?
