Yes. Do as indicated in http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/ :


Udev without initrd

Install Fedore Core as usual and reboot. Execute the following commands


mkdir /tmp/dev
mount --move /dev /tmp/dev
sbin/MAKEDEV null console zero
mount --move /tmp/dev /dev

Install your kernel without an initrd. Reboot.

You will get some SELinux errors, and syslogd will not work as expected.


PS sorry for the late response just going through old mail ;)
