Without udevd, it is unlikely that new devices are going to show up. So we will know not to wait for them.

NACK. I'm probably missing the point here (as I was a bit suspicious about waiting for devices in the first place), but I don't think this makes sense. Two cases where a missing udev means you won't get more devices: 1) If you reference them by symlinks in /dev/disks/by-* 2) If the required module is not built in to the kernel and udev is needed for modprobing it. However, you might very well have built your usb-drivers into the kernel, referenced them as /dev/sdc1 (or whatever) and need to wait for them to appear. Remember that udev no longer populates /dev with devicenodes as this is done by the kernel. Am I missing something? -t
