This kernel build also has the user/group problem:

...
Starting internet superserver: inetd.
Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent: postfixpostfix: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter default_privs: unknown user name value: nobody
 failed!
...

This is without udev installed.  With udev, the problems are much
more serious:

...
Mount failed for selinuxfs on /selinux:  No such file or directory
INIT: version 2.86 booting

fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

fsck died with exit status 8
* File system check failed.
A log is being saved in /var/log/fsck/checkfs if that location is writable.
Please repair the file system manually.
* A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and resume system boot.

Possibly, this caused by setting

  CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="/sbin/udevd"

"/sbin/hotplug" doesn't exist and there's no help for this option,
so it's not obvious what to select.
