Works for me (again) now that I have recreated the device files:

cd /dev
./MAKEDEV sda
./MAKEDEV sda1

Don't know what you're talking about re "sda0" -- I don't know such a
thing (there's sda and sda1).

rpm -V dev | fgrep missing

There seems to be the misconception that bugzilla was a support tool
;-). It is a bug tracker so developers don't lose track of the bugs and
they may get fixed eventually. For help your best address is here or
maybe fedora-devel-list (or fedora-list once FC2 is final).
