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.
