Busybox includes mdev which is a simplified udev. Note, however, that mdev 
relies on the old hotplug mechanism to get device information from the kernel 
at run-time. This hostplug mechanism is inherently racy. For the initramfs use 
case this should be enough, though.

You may also consider using devtmpfs.
