cd /dev; rm -r -f *;

Finally, I managed to set up udev in my box. I almost hosed the system in the process, as the first thing I did was a rm -r -f * in /dev. Hehe… 
Anyway, udev is creating the device nodes on the fly now, and I am being able to boot into a system with an empty /dev. (well.. not entirely empty, I had to keep console and null, since apparently the Fedora rc.sysinit cannot start without them.) There are still a few nagging permissions and symlinking issues, but I think those can be easily handled with a few modifications to the /etc/udev/* files. It is really nice to see how udev has drastically reduced the number of files in the /dev directory.
Btw, in case anyone is wondering, I am running kernel 2.6.7 with the Con Kolivas patchset.
