Thanks, but I think it should be:

mount --bind /dev/ /target/dev

And in my case it has to be:

mount /dev/md0 /target

I have everything on /dev/md0.  And that seems to be a problem:

sh-3.2# update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-ixp4xx
mkinitramfs: missing sdb root md0 /sys entry
mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most
mkinitramfs: Error please report the bug
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-ixp4xx
