That sounds more like a different issue than udev itself. /dev/null should be all you need. /dev/console would be useful, and /dev/kmsg udev tries to write its startup message to, but only /dev/null should be needed. Anyway, just might just want to mount devtmpfs at /dev before starting udev and all should be solved without the need for any manual device node creation.
