Nope, and I'd like to extend that step in terms of /dev/ nodes to be
created instead of removing it :)

Yes, a subset of the standard ones (TM) are required, i.e.,
/dev/{null,{u,}random,...}, you name it.

So, I'd like to have a static /dev/ setup in such a way that the
essential files required to boot are present, even without udev or the
like having created them dynamically.
To be precise, I'd like a to-be-renamed download_dev-random to include
  mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3
  mknod -m 666 /dev/zero c 1 5
  mknod -m 666 /dev/random c 1 8
  mknod -m 666 /dev/urandom c 1 9
  mkdir -m 755 /dev/pts
  mkdir -m 1777 /dev/shm
  mknod -m 666 /dev/tty c 5 0
  mknod -m 600 /dev/console c 5 1
  mknod -m 666 /dev/tty0 c 4 0
  mknod -m 666 /dev/full c 1 7
  mknod -m 600 /dev/initctl p
  mknod -m 666 /dev/ptmx c 5 2
