Okay, so florin has tracked down the problem: if / is RO, /dev/null cannot be 
written to, and this is the case if DEBUG is not set. So, we have a couple of 
solutions:

* Set / RW from start and maybe remount it ro if there is any problem before 
fsck.

* instead of using > /dev/null while / is RO, use grep -v ".*", for example.

Ideas and opinions are welcomed.
