I just checked and yes, dmraid is initializing before udev in rcS.d. What this means is that dmraid sets up the devices in /dev/mapper, then udev is run and it completely rebuilds /dev, throwing out what dmraid did. Currently udev is initialized at S10 and dmraid at S04, it should be changed to S11.
