Have anybody had this problem before?
X works well when I start it with 'startx'. The x-programs starts as
they shall. But I can't start x-term!
When I exit X, I see that everytime I tried to start x-term the computer
complained about 'No more ptys'.
Are there any easy solutions to this problem?
I boot from a bootkernal disk that is called 'net'. With the command
'mount root=/dev/hdc1 ro'.
Here are a specification of my computer:
P-150
48Mb
Diamond Stealth 3000 Vram

I have encountered this similar problem. I think it is because the device is not in the /dev directory
You can try this:
(1) login as root
(2) go to /dev directory
(3) type this command: MAKEDEV ptyp
that should do the job.
