udev in the bootdisk

Hi List.

I've started making the bootdisk udev-aware which is more painful than anything.
What I've done so far can be found in 2005101612054407800. I'm not much
motivated to continue this work since it's just a plain pain in the ass.

But I suggest that we take the concept I use in LVP and move it to bootdisk.
That means:
	compile everything statically
	compress all but mount and bash using UPX
	write all the stuff in bash instead of fucking around with dietlibc

The problem is that udev needs sh, sed, grep, readlink and a few others to run
the scripts that create the devfs compatible /dev layout.

The alternative is using /dev/hd* and /dev/sd* and trying to guess which is a
CD-Rom and which is a hard disk.

Until either is done, we can't upgrade to a devfs-less kernel.

Greetings,
	Benjamin

Feel at home? Got some of them? Want to show some magic?
