Yes but almost certainly any usb devices connected later won't work.

That appeared to be a wrong track.  The real problem is that both rcS.d
and rc2.d tried to start udev.  udev never uses rc2.d, only rcS.d so
something else had created the link in rc2.d for udev which caused
the problem.

That appears to be a different unrelated problem.
