It looks to me like you also have to hack around in kern/tty_pty.c,
there are hard coded assumptions in there about 256 minor numbers being mapped.
Also comments about doing something about it, the mapping is defined in there.
Making it work above 256 doesn't look hard, agreeing on a naming convention
might be harder :)
