Okay. This is from the original posting: I went into chroot /target and installed aptitude, the kernel and grup-pc, but grub-install failed, because of no devices present. My guess is that in the chroot the mount command will *not* show sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=62683,mode=755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) My advices is to exit the chroot, mount at least /dev in /target/dev and re-enter the /target chroot. My websearch on 'mount -t /dev/ /target/dev' did bring me to https://www.reox.at/apu1c/ where you read mount -o bind /dev/ /target/dev in context. Feel free to rapport your milage.
