You aren't the first person to report this. Care to provide a patch to /lib/rcscripts/addons/udev-start.sh that works properly for your machines?
Created attachment 82298 [details, diff] patch that fixes it for me This patch seems to fix it here.
Have you tested that patch on a box that has block devices? I think it will just ignore all of the block devices, which is not what you want to have happen :)
Created attachment 82372 [details, diff] patch that works on system with block devices (tested) I tested this on a system with block devices as well as my diskless system, and it seems to work fine on both.
The patch - as does the bug that get's "fixed" here - prevents cdr/dvd-burning (opc error).
Fixed in 089 release.
