I think you need to mount /dev to to chroot before chrooting. Try mount -o
bind /dev /mnt/dev. I am not sure but I usually mount proc in the chroot
also.

Here's what happened. First I did "fdisk -1" and I got 3 partitions as I had
installed. The boot was /dev/sda1 and it was listed as ID: 83 ,system:
linux, this should be ext3, the start was 1 end was 2374, 19+ Gig. The
commands I used as root are as follows:
