I assume you have a static /dev setup then, probably not visible after udev has created new entries. Could you try the mount -o bind stuff and check if the contents of /dev and /mnt/gentoo/dev differ? Typical devices like [hs]d[a-d] should be present in both trees, so the chroot /dev will work, too, at least for most practical purposes, like setting up grub. On the other hand, my /dev only has two files in it (console and null), the rest is created by udev. In a chroot, they are gone, and grub would not work.

I got that directly from the current handbook. I'll omit that step. It's a CF-ide setup. One very cool thing is I can move the CF to a usb-CF reader and just edit the CF as I like, without entering chroot... Very nice feature of a CF based Hard drive. Thanks to all that responded.
