argh! that's it -- I didn't create the devices.  But now I don't know
how to go further.  Ordinarily I would follow some set of instructions
to mknod the file using particular major and minor node numbers; but I
don't have those numbers recorded anywhere.  Is there a way to fnd out
what the mode numbers of an existing device file are (then I could
just look them up and duplicate the file...).
Alternatively, is there anything wrong with just copying the /dev
directory on my main installation over to my chroot?  Or better, just
making /chroot/dev a symbolic link to the main /dev directory?  If
that's an acceptable solution, it would certainly be the one I
prefer.  I imagine this would help me with ALSA as well, which I
haven't been able to interact with either.
