Have you done any updates recently?
Do you have this problems with various kernels?
Did you check your boot loader config file?
fstab settings correct?

Once I had similar problem, when I gave a wrong root partiton entry in lilo.conf.

Just guessing...

is udev added to your sysinit runlevel?

for BL-2 it should be added to sysinit or at least boot

sounds like some things did not get migrated correctly when you did the BL-1 => BL-2/OpenRC migration

when i updated udev,udev gave me a error that my kernel was to old and i had to have
a kernel that i newer then 2.6.27.but i have 2.6.31-r10

but i dont think udev is the problem.when i looked in /dev there was no hdd there
so i made a interactive boot a and there was something about e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/<device>

can you post your rc-status output? I would be interested to compare this to my own BL-2 rig

and if there is no HDD in /dev then it could very well be udev at fault

if urandom failed it would seem /dev doesnt even act like it exists. Unless urandom has been moved to an init script with BL-2, I forget, dont have that machine in front of me
