For the record, if I boot with tomsbrt and run *its* fdisk -l, it
returns the correct partition table on

Disk /dev/hda

So with that fdisk the command above would work, or at least not fail
because of fdisk (remember that fdisk/busybox -l returns nothing).

However, if I edit by hand /scripts/setup.sh to replace the line above
with:

avail_devices='hda'

I still get the "cannot write to /dev/null" error, and am stuck

Go ahead, capitalize the T on technology, deify it if it will make you
feel less responsible -- but it puts you in with the neutered,
brother, in with the eunuchs keeping the harem of our stolen Earth for
the numb and joyless hardons of human sultans, human elite with no
right at all to be where they are -- T. Pynchon, _Gravity's Rainbow_
