Very valid point. But wouldn't it then be better in the case of udevadm-control failing to do something which gets 100% attention of the user, and with an explicit diagnosis message describing the problem? Simply not moving '/dev' to rootfs, and letting the failed boot to reach its "fate", seems to be a bit too obscure for me.

Being an "expert user", I would also like to have the busybox-shell for the failure case of course ;)
