TTBOMK is a new one for me! What does this stand for?

I can manually get the prompt back now. I readded /dev/pts to my directory
structure (gave it 777 permissions, but would like to know what perms it
ideally should have). Then, I manually run the command "mount /dev/pts" from
tty4 and then my x terminal prompts work again for all users! :) So how do
make /dev/pts mount automatically at boot, so I don't need to manually do
this each boot up? Here are my fstab relevant lines:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
#this devpts commented out, because I'm trying to change it to make it mount
#at boot
#devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=0620 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
#devfs doesn't work in kernel 2.6, and devfsd complains at boot that no "devfs
#on /dev", so I could probably comment this out
devfs /dev devfs defaults 0 0
# Linux 2.6.x sysfs Filesystem
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
Udev doesn't mount /dev/pts I have read, so not sure what to do. Thanks!
