Man-wai, I tried this but it didn't seem to make a difference.

It appears the problem is that I don't have any devices in /dev after
I've chroot-ed.  How does one start udev so that all the device files,
including /dev/hda*, become available?  I've tried running
"/sbin/start_udev" but it just exits with status=-1.

Thanks,
Brad.
