I did a lot of messing around with udev a while back when I was trying
out making my first initramfs. Udev will certainly create /dev/console
on its own without any rules or static devices in /lib/udev/devices
(LFS doesn't have console in the static devices). And it will run
without any of the magic symlinks in /lib/udev/devices. Not so sure
about /dev/null. Maybe you need to create this yourself.

I'm guessing the issue is coming from somewhere else in the udev
stack. I think you should probably be able to boot and get devices
with no rules and only /dev/null in /lib/udev/devices.
