partitions outside of chroot everything mounts fine. Within chroot, I get a "permission denied" when trying to mount. I am kind of stuck because when trying to install grub, I am getting: grub-install /dev/sda Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: warning: disk does not exist, so falling back to partition device /dev/sda4. grub-install: warning: disk does not exist, so falling back to partition device /dev/sda4. grub-install: warning: disk does not exist, so falling back to partition device /dev/sda4. grub-install: error: disk `hostdisk//dev/sda4' not found. Your help is greatly appreciated. Mike
