It turned out that busybox mdev overwrote the /dev symlink with a
directory. So the new /new_root/S/K/Devices was empty.
Now I have it working, I do some of the basic stuff after starting udev,
then I wait on udevsettle before starting the X login manager, then the
bootscripts continue with other stuff that isn't very important, like
starting ifplugd, ssh, acpid, dbus, restoring alsa mixer, etc..
One thing I wonder about is that /proc/mounts says that
/S/K/{Devices,Status} is mounted two times. But I guess it's not the end
of the world?
