In my previous email I included the output of the 'mount' command
which showed that /dev was properly mounted. Again here it is with
only the chroot part:

$ mount | grep lenny32
/home on /mnt/lenny32/home type none (rw,bind)
/tmp on /mnt/lenny32/tmp type none (rw,bind)
/media/cdrom0 on /mnt/lenny32/media/cdrom0 type none (rw,bind)
/dev on /mnt/lenny32/dev type none (rw,bind)


Searching on internet I found the gentoo tutorial:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=2

Apparently on this tuturial both /dev AND /dev/pts are mounted:

...
Code Listing 3.2: Mount virtual file systems

# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo32/dev
# mount -o bind /dev/pts /mnt/gentoo32/dev/pts
# mount -o bind /dev/shm /mnt/gentoo32/dev/shm
...

Is there a chance that this turial is missing that ?
