I had similar problems on my platform - I've solved it by enabling PTY 
in the kernel, and creating missing /dev entries for pseudo terminal. 
Also mount the devpts if you are using it. Note that I'm not using inetd 
(telnetd is started standalone), but I think this has nothing to do with 
your problem.

~ $ ls -l /dev/
