Since, I believe, version 006, udev has shipped with an init script contributed by rml that will create device nodes for devices present at system boot. You should be able to just make sure that that runs during your boot sequence and be fine. (I just ran this script on my system, and made sure it proper nodes for all my IDE drives and the partitions contained thereon.) Matt
