Kiosk-style web browser

I mostly have this part working now, although I have a few issues. I added:
tty1::askfirst:/bin/cttyhack /bin/login
to /etc/inittab, and it boots with the console, although I didn't have
keyboard (I probably have to enable usb keyboard one way or another,
and I don't really need it...)
I will probably have to change it  anyways to make it automatically
boot into the browser in any case, instead of running a login session.

The problem I am having is the f2fs filesystem. dmesg gives:
[    6.077160] F2FS-fs (mmcblk0p2): Magic Mismatch, valid(0xf2f52010)
- read(0x65202d20)
[    6.077177] F2FS-fs (mmcblk0p2): Can't find valid F2FS filesystem
in 1th superblock
[    6.101916] F2FS-fs (mmcblk0p2): Magic Mismatch, valid(0xf2f52010)
- read(0x313a3830)
[    6.101928] F2FS-fs (mmcblk0p2): Can't find valid F2FS filesystem
in 2th superblock
