Heh. Sure we do!

People still miss this. Does anyone know if bold text in the book helps people pick out important comments? Maybe we need to do something to make that part stand out. Also, that part is missing something. The directory /dev needs to be populated, too. Grub will want to communicate to block devices sometime in the future.

Is it a good idea to include something about populating dev in that part, too?

Yes, I think I agree with your assessment. The information is there, but it is missed way too much. I don't think this is in the FAQ, so it should at least be there, if nothing else. Randy are you still caring for this?

But, really, +1 on the idea about including the /dev note and I also agree that the whole thing is important enough to merit becoming a separate note box.
