NFS '/' and /dev/tty*

This has bugged me for a while (A long while).

I have a machine that's using nfsroot. When I login at the console, or via
a program that uses /dev/ttyp* then 'w' shows that I'm always idle. Appears
as if the devices aren't being updated. Is there a reason for this? (I'm
not concerned about bandwidth, this machine is on 100mbit along with the nfs
server)
