dash gets upset when it cannot open /dev/tty, and we lose stderr. Even
if we make /dev/tty once we're in the initramfs, it will still be too
late for the inital dash shell running the init script. So, make a small
set of nodes in the dracut script while building the directory structure
of the initramfs.
Creating the nodes in the dracut script means that you can't create the
initramfs as non-root, though. :(
Unless we write a separate program that outputs cpio files. Perhaps not
worth the effort? How important is it to make initrd from non-root?
