Comment(by AlbertCahalan):

 Replying to [comment:4 wmb at firmworks.com]:
 > I have a working recipe now that essentially eliminates the udev startup
 time.  It uses a combination of the "tar" technique described in the
 previous comment, plus starting udev with a filtered trigger list, plug
 careful backgrounding of the settling time wait.  The faster version of
 start_udev is attached.

 Please check to ensure that partition devices for the SD card get created
 really early, before filesystems are mounted and before swap is enabled.
 (and for USB devices as well) I've had trouble with swap space on an SD
 card failing because there was no device file for the partition.
