I am actually using udev here on my production desktop, so it *is* usable
(and /dev/console is there...). The only thing that really gave me a
headache, was that I did not have devpts compiled into my kernel. After
adding that most of the system worked as before...
And besides: If it doesn't work, one can always uninstall it again. If the
system should become non-functional, on needs to disable the udev initscript
from a rescue CD, after that the normal /dev/ will be back in place (udev
only mounts a ramdisk over the "old-style" /dev)
So if you're adventurous give it a try. I have 3 usb-stotage devices, and udev
basically solved all my "which device is my camera today?" problems...
