Edit:

I was able to to boot fully after appending "-o rw" to the "root"
kernel parameter.

I suspect the issue was that the read-only mount was not allowing
udev to correctly populate /dev with the tty devices passed to 
getty, and getty was flummoxed.

So I'm amending my question:  Help a n00b -what's the standard
practice with respect to maintaining an embedded-safe read-only
rootfs while allowing udev to do its thang?   Separate partition
for /dev?
