Ignoring why you want this, and commenting only on how to achieve what
you want: That mkdir line should be

        makedir pts 0755

Using an absolute directory names does the wrong thing when somebody
invokes MAKEDEV in a directory other than /dev.  Using a raw mkdir
command instead of the makedir function does the wrong thing when
MAKEDEV is invoked in mtree mode (which is also invoked internally
in some other modes).
