I don't have Consensys, (I run microport 4.1,) but the following
should work:

I believe the values you need to change are the third column of
the /etc/conf/sdevice.d/ptm and /etc/conf/sdevice.d/pts files.
You would also need to change the /etc/conf/node.d/pts file
to tell idmknod of the new major/minor pairs. Follow the
convention of existing entries in the file. You then rebuild
the kernel using /etc/conf/bin/idbuild. You should shutdown
and reboot (I believe idmknod is called upon re-enterring
init state 2.)

I've actually never tried the above myself, since during the
installation I configured my kernel with 256 entrypoints. If
all fails, reinstalling the proper package (nsu for microport)
interactively might do the job.

Good luck,
