As far as I can tell, nothing's available *yet* that can *simply* be substituted for (e)udev. vdev is available and from what I understand should be able to provide what udev provides, but (a) I'm not sure what the status of libudev-compat is; (b) vdev doesn't have an init script or mkinitramfs integration yet; and (c) not all the compatability links are provided. As far as I know, that means that mount by label wouldn't work. mdev is available, but it has nothing available to provide libudev compatability at present; compatability links, an init script, and minimal mkinitramfs integration are provided, but you may need some hackery (equivs or repacking, plus manual configuration at a minimum) to replace udev with mdev if you have Xorg installed. Right now, I'm working on a redo of the /dev/disk/by-label links for mdev. (Parsing the default output of blkid safely is not trivial and obvious.) Once I test that, I plan to push it and modify vdev's disk.sh to handle /dev/disk/by-label/.
