This problem was created because Pete did not follow to the letter the |
| 45 |
handbook, which advises to mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev, or if |
| 46 |
he did, he did not untar the stage 3 fs properly, or if he used a |
| 47 |
stage 4 tar file he did not create the necessary /dev files manually. |
