I guess you want to know which packages need to be installed, since udev
completely replaces /dev, leaving you only with a few nodes.

I installed udev en sysfsutils and made sure my kernel was compiled with
the option CONFIG_TMPFS=y was set (could be other options necessary).

Then udev worked almost instantly, leaving me with a few issues, which I
hoped will all be solved in this thread:
