Thanks for pointing me there.

I see where my problem is. I used to cp -a the rootfs from
build_<arch>/root to my target device's storage, so I missed all the
/dev entries created by genext2fs. In my case, the permissions on some
special files, like /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd, are not set properly,
making me unable to login as root.

Thanks!
