The medium you boot from probably has an empty /dev directory. You should at
least have a /dev/console node. A /dev/null node usually comes in handy
too. If you're interrested in building a system from scratch you may want
to look at LFS (Linux From Scratch: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/).
Their testing branch uses udev for device creation. You may find valuable
information over there. Keep in mind that it might contain LFS specific
information.
