When using sarge with fai 2.5.4 it's not possible to log into the
install clients using ssh. This is because the directory
$NFSROOT/dev/pts does not exist and therefore /dev/pts is not mounted
on the install client. Then ssh can't use the openpty call to get a
pty for the ssh connection. The simple solution is to call this
command on the install server after make-fai-nfsroot (or fasi-setup)
is called.

mkdir --mode=755 /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/dev/pts

A patch for fai will be prepared in a few weeks when I restart coding.
