Does it help if you comment out these last three lines in rc.sysinit and
reboot (already commented out by me)?
if [ -c /dev/.devfsd ]; then
if [ -x /sbin/devfsd ]; then
# copy /lib/dev-state before starting devfsd to avoid accidentally
# triggering devfsd actions (like module loading)
# if [ -d /lib/dev-state ]; then
# cp -af /lib/dev-state/* /dev > /dev/null 2>&1
# fi
