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.
