35 no. This is normal. /dev is populated by udev. If you chroot from a
36 livecd,
37 you need to bind mount dev to your chroots dev first.

39 And there is no reason to redo the installation. Grub is sometimes
40 REALLY
41 annoying to setup. But usually it works as long as you are staying close
42 to
43 the tutorial in info grub.

45 "/dev is populated by udev. If you chroot from a livecd,
46 you need to bind mount dev to your chroots dev first." How do I do this
47 ...?
