It's quite possible that the lack of static nodes is what's messing
things up.
Personally I've been bind mounting /dev, /proc and /sys for years
whenever doing any rescuecd etc. stuff. Partly because I have several
LVM volumes where a static /dev/ wouldn't help anyway...
But bind mounting /dev has just been part of my chroot routine for as
long as I remember.
