Yes.

Yes all the enteries are created, I've learnt never to

Nope I've checked my fstab many times and I don't
mount a dev.

When I do set the udev_root to /dev some devices get
created, like fd0 and a few others that I can't
remember. 

But i'm wondering if where i'm starting udev in my
rc.sysinit is the problem. Just for your reference I
start it (and also mount sysfs) right after /proc gets
mounted (and yes I do mmount sysfs before I run
start_udev :) )
