mount --bind /dev /thechroot/dev
is what I use here, running udev in a chroot is no fun.

I'm almost done with a howto which is cut&paste for 95% to debootstrap
and boot a debian system, unfortunately it doesn't boot as the klibc
(which is used in the initramfs) is broken on sparc again...
So I'll modify it to setup a proper chroot only, it should also allow to
boot into it if you use the Kernel/initrd form Ubuntu.
This should allow Josip and you to setup a complete chroot.

The following things also like to crash here (on Etch, not in a chroot):
- running aptitude -u several times (at least with libnss-db installed)
- since I've installed 2.6.24-rc1: vgdisplay (with and without active
libnss-db)

there're some comparisons of the strace of aptitude -u in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bugC3187#102
Probably interesting as there're futexes in the game.

The interesting thing is that it didn't crash the machine while running
under strace.
