Just use --auto or --auto=yes and it should take care of the device node creations. I have a /etc/mdadm.conf so I just do:
mdadm -As --auto=yes and it brings everything up over udev.

I face a similar problem each time I use KNOPPIX to revive a non-booting
server. It always takes me 10-20 minutes to figure out the right
mdadm incantation to start the md devices. It does not help that mdadm
wants an /etc/mdadm.conf which is on an md device itself, unaccessible.
Hate to say it, that's a reward of a poor config choice and should be fixed.

I wish there were a simple command to find and start all md devices, something
along the lines of:

mdadm --please-find-and-start-all-my-md-devices-please-please-please
or
mdadm --start-all, or whatever.
