Comments/Problems:

the grub installation step to the MBR failed, the log complained
about problems with /proc/devices. when trying to reproduce the problem
at a console, i found that grub-install was not installed in the
installation environment, but only on the target. when i chrooted in
there, grub-install produced the same error message about /proc/devices.
after bind mounting the outside /proc to /target/proc, the grub
installation step succeeded.

(sorry about using the alpha installer, it was what i had at hand; the
beta1 changelog didn't mention /proc related changes.)

  * Remove code that relies on target fstab containing /proc, which it no
    longer does. Closes: #637684
