The simple solution is to load ide-disk sooner. To do so :
1) list it in /etc/modules
2) run 'dpkg-reconfigure kernel-image-2.6....'
Then ide-disk will be put in the initrd image and loaded before the
root fs is mounted. Then udev will have plenty of time to create the
/dev nodes before any userspace application tries to access them. (I
know it works because my on-disk /dev only contains console null and
zero and all of my disks are IDE and I have no problems with
unattended boots)
