Not in chroot. Do it in basesystem. Should be clear because of the full
path.

However you've /tmp and proc already in your /etc/fstab, because of this
the fullparh is neccesary.

I'm not sure about this, but I think this is processed when creating the
chroot.

In my opinion: As a lokal chroot only to execute x86 binarys, this seems
regardless of which method you select. However /media/cdrom0 seems to be
cleaner.
