Nope, Unix sockets are usually not the commonly chosen way for
kernel<->userland communication. They're used for machine-local (w/
exception of clusters) inter-process communication. But I think that
init would struggle w/o CONFIG_UNIX and, of course, udev. So Maxim might
have hit problems there. But that's just nitpicking here ;-)

@OP: You can scroll kernel boot output using Shift-PgUp/-PgDown. From
what you can see there you should be able to tell whether your HD is
recognized or not and what's its device name (which you must hand to
the kernel via the "root=..." kernel command line parameter).
