Actually, you can kill udev and restart it.  Kill the process and

If you're restarting services yourself instead of switching
runlevels to get them all at once, you can still use the
initscripts.

# /etc/init.d/udev restart
That doesn't work in baselayout 1 tho. If I switch to single user, udevd is still running. The only way to stop it is to kill it.

That looks like a bug.  Heh, it would be nice if the initscripts worked
with the current stable version of baselayout.

The devs intended for it not to work with baselayout 1 so they know this. I think it is in a Gentoo doc somewhere. I was trying to figure out how udev was starting when the script was not in any runlevel and was stopped, while udev had a process running. I ran up on the doc when trying to figure this mess out. So, for baselayout 2, use the script. For baselayout 1, just kill the process and restart with udevd --daemon.
