If udev can't create all device nodes but no devfs mounted, then device nodes can't be created and rootfs has no device nodes to mount to, that's why I have to pass 'devfs=mount'.
But I can bootstrap Debian 3.0r2 and SlackWare 10.1 using same uml kernel without 'devfs=mount'. Why is that?

DevFS has disappeared starting from 2.6.13/14 IIRC.
The problem is the root_fs. You must update its content to use non-DevFS names
in /etc/inittab and /etc/fstab, possibly /etc/securetty (or such) and you
must create ubd nodes in /dev (normal names are /dev/ubda - /dev/ubdh).
