In a very early stage in my class/ directory, I run the following:

#!/bin/sh

df -t tmpfs /dev | tail -n+2 | grep -q ^tmpfs  && {
    cd /dev
    ./MAKEDEV hd
    ./MAKEDEV sd
}

exit 0

This solved my (similar) problems.
Perhaps a non-udev kernel would be suited as well, but we're living in an
udev world now...
