This may be one of the known bugs listed on the web page:
- the new OZ versions mount the SD/MMC and CF cards in a secure mode with
device files disabled, which unfortunately completely breaks the chroot
environment. A symptom is that you get weird messages about devices
such as /dev/null not working, and you may just get a blank X11 screen
without any user interface.
As a workaround, run the following from the command line:
mount /mnt/card -o remount,dev,suid,exec

That should not be a problem. The Perl GTK binding worked fine even on
the 32MB SL-5000D, except for the startup time being a bit long. If you
haven't done so already, I'd highly recommend using a kernel
configuration that makes most memory available to applications, rather
than the 32MB/32MB memory/RAMdisk default split.
