Make sure you have a recent version of the initscripts, sysvinit and
grml-etc packages. Then make sure /etc/mtab is *not* a symlink to
/proc/mounts anymore:

# rm /etc/mtab ; cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab

Now the "/dev/.static/dev: Permission denied" shouldn't be present
anymore (at least on next reboot).

HTH && regards,
