the fact that the script leaves your system in a hard to recover state is what
i'm whining about, not that udev requires devtmpfs.
/dev/pts isn't created, thus devpts doesn't get mounted, thus you cannot log
in to your system to fix it. would also be trivial to run the all of three
commands so people could recover:
mount -t tmpfs dev /dev
busybox mdev -s
mkdir /dev/pts
we already have examples of the init scripts modifying /etc/issue to notify
login entry points that their system needs manual attention to recover.
