That needs to be there. If that doesn't happen, something is wrong.
Make sure you aren't booting with a command line that disables udev, or
enables devfs. Also make sure you don't have devfs in your kernel at

The kernel started that up, not the init scripts.

The kernel does this on it's own in the boot process.
