It depends on when the dev file system gets mounted on /dev. It looks like it gets mounted before the root file system is mounted read/write, because it is not listed in /etc/mtab, but it is in /proc/mounts. If it gets mounted without udev running, you will end up with an empty /dev directory. (Mounting a file system over a directory hides the contents of the directory, but already opened files are still accessible...)
