Yes, because we're using devfs which creates the rught device files. The /dev 
that's really on disk (which you see for a moment before devfs is mounted 
while booting) is generic, and contains all devices for all needs. So copy 
that (make sure you unmount whatever's in the chroot - devfs, proc, boot).
