Bug#1106712: makedev referenced by chroot installation instructions
Source: installation-guide
Version: 20250429
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: pkern@debian.org, zeha@debian.org
D.3 in the installation guide documents the procedure on how to install
Debian from an existing Unix/Linux system.
D.3.4.1 at least in the amd64 version of the installation guide[1]
references installing makedev and running it to get a template /dev
filesystem. makedev has been removed as obsolete per #1064931, being
replaced with udev.
Presumably we should just remove the lines about it, the suggestion to
bind-mount the host /dev is already there.
Kind regards
Philipp Kern
