udev starts by copying the existing /dev into the ramdisk it mounts
over /dev. This is why you see nodes for devices you don't have.
Solution :
Boot the installer CD or Knoppix or something.
# cd /
# mv dev _static_dev
# mkdir dev
# cd dev
# mknod c 5 1 console
# chmod 600 console
(if desired, also create null and zero with proper perms and ownership)
# reboot
