The problem is that /dev/null probably has the wrong device number.
Try this for a good laugh:
echo foo > /dev/null
It prints "foo"!
Everything in rc is fine. The errors you are seeing are normally sent
to /dev/null.
Fix:
cd /dev
rm null
mknod null c 3 2
chmod a+rwx null
There were other devices with wrong device numbers.. There was a post
about it before. I can dig it up if you don't have it already...
