Noticed the following:

+if ! /bin/mountpoint -q /dev; then
+  if grep -q devtmpfs /proc/filesystems 2>/dev/null; then
+    /bin/mount -n -t devtmpfs udev /dev -o mode=0755,size=10M,nosuid

1) grep should be /bin/grep
2) /dev/null does not exist at that time (if I understand correctly),
so if grep prints something to stderr - it will create a /dev/null file
(not sure if it is an issue though).
