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.

ACK. 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).
