In the 1.0b5 release, simply modifying /etc/syslog.conf and running /etc/init.d/sysklogd does not correctly enable syslog. /etc/init.d/sysklogd starts syslogd with the option to use /rw/dev/log as the socket file but /rw/dev does not exist so the log socket cannot be created. The directory /ro/dev needs to be created so that /rw/dev/ is available for syslogd to create the log socket. Also, there needs to be a link at /dev/log that points to /rw/dev/log so that process can succesfully write to the /rw/dev/log.
