I guess this comes from a redirect of some output to /dev/null.
I've checked the basefiles on
http://fai-project.org/download/basefiles/

and the debian, centos, Ubuntu basefiles have a /dev/null. But the
opensuse basefile does not include /dev/null.
Not sure if this the fault of opensuse or the tool that creates the
basefiles (called rinse, also maintained by me).

For now you can try to fix this in a hook using mknod.
