They come from udev running vol_id, but they're actually printed by code
in glibc, specifically syslog (udev logs to syslog, which apparently
thinks it needs to write to the screen in some cases).

I saw the same thing inside initramfs on a system with a really old
glibc (was upgrading it to kernel 2.6 -- finally -- and part of the
upgrade was a udev install).  According to the patch I saved (but never
submitted anywhere: I figured the problem was the age of glibc), I
removed the messages by changing udev/udev.h (logging_init) to remove
the LOG_CONS flag from openlog.
