	Interesting. My /etc/fstab looks like this:

/dev    /var/chroot/sid-ia32/dev  none  bind,auto   0  0
/proc   /var/chroot/sid-ia32/proc none  bind,auto   0  0

However, modifying it as you indicated does not help with the webcam. 
Which version of /etc/fstab is "more correct", now? Binding /proc seemed 
to make sense to me...

	Thanks for the help.
