No. I did try the mount command after chrooting which successfully ran, but
didn't fix the missing /dev. I bet this is the crux of the
problem, however. Mount just mounts everything in /etc/fstab. I
don't remember if dev is there but /proc is there for sure
	When I mount /dev/sdf1 on /mnt and do a ls -l /dev/sda,
it looks good.

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Jul 28 19:09 sda

	Do I need to mount those befor chrooting? 

	The only thing I am concerned about is of course is not
overwriting the good boot sector on the old drive.:-(

Thanks.
