In Debian, /usr/ is allowed to be on NFS. Mounting NFS volumes from
the initramfs is probably not worth the effort. I recommend moving
the needed files from /usr/ to /, to get this working properly. udev
need to start before /var/ and /usr/ is mounted when they are on
separate partitions, and thus should only need files on /. If udev
need /, /var/ and /usr/ to be on the same partition, I believe udev
have a release critical bug that need to be fixed before Squeeze is
released.
Happy hacking,
