Which udev? As of udev 074, hotplug isn't needed and there's a new dir 
structure in /lib (but this require 2.6.15). I run linux from scratch, and 
their udev stuff is pretty tight and keeps current w/ upstream. I'd recommend 
going to look at LFS 6.1.1 which came out today, check their boot scripts, 
and then ping me as I have a thread talking about how shit changes in 074 and 
076 (gotta love udev!)
