There's another option, too: mdev, from busybox:

It works well if you have a rather simple system.  I.e., for me, headless
machines (most of the time), PS/2 KB and mouse when not headless, one
network interface (wired, no wifi), separate /usr, no disk encryption, and
use static IP addresses (IPv4, IPv6).

Additionally, there is a sep-usr flag to the busybox package that people
running /usr on a different partition might want to look into.  It installs
a /ginit file that assists in getting /usr mounted early enough w/o a
initramfs so that things don't break.  Though, I am also not using that on
my x86_64 box and it boots fine, so YMMV.
