Good to know but could you please point that out for the debian reference 
manual authors? You seem to have better understanding than I do.

xoscope is a software oscilloscope that only works on 32 bit machines and 
comedi is a library to access several IO cards. I ported xoscope amd64 (if  
anyone is interested) and then it works with comedi but not if I run the 32 
bit version in chroot.
   My guess was that I could solve that pussle  by using static /dev in the 
chroot but obviously that is not an option.

Thanks
Gudjon
