11 Well, udev is started by both genkernel's linuxrc and the init scripts
12 later. Coldplug is started by autoconfig.

18 Catalyst creates 0 device nodes. This is not catalyst's function.
19 Catalyst does what you tell it to do. If you're overriding the linuxrc
20 that is known to work with your own, you might want to base it off the
21 genkernel linuxrc, so you don't miss things that we've already solved.
