I assume you have a static /dev setup then, probably not visible after udev 
has created new entries. Could you try the mount -o bind stuff and check if 
the contents of /dev and /mnt/gentoo/dev differ? Typical devices like 
[hs]d[a-d] should be present in both trees, so the chroot /dev will work, 
too, at least for most practical purposes, like setting up grub.

On the other hand, my /dev only has two files in it (console and null), the 
rest is created by udev. In a chroot, they are gone, and grub would not 
work.
