That shouldn't cause sshd to fail to start, though; the message is just informational. My guess here is that /dev/null is broken, which causes the daemon() library call to fail, which causes sshd to fail to start, but -d causes sshd not to daemonize. 'ls -l /dev/null' should look like this: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jan 4 2003 /dev/null See the NOTES section in the daemon(3) man page.
