Since recent change in udev package [#1] (install: remove post-install) In case of booting without initramfs and there is no /dev/null: * if / is ro, devtmpfs mount will fail, in consecuence /dev will be mounted as tmpfs. * if / is rw, devtmpfs mount will success, but a regular file /dev/null in / will be created.

We should not redirect to /dev/null (or anywhere) until we are certain that we have a populated /dev!
Wheel, anyway there are more places that uses /dev/null (inside at rc.d/functions). Anyway a system without initramfs should have a minimal /dev/ with console (othewise init will fails silently and no startups messages you will see) and if no null dev, messages without colors, until rc.d/functions is re-read (in rc.multi). -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1
