Perhaps it is time to update the documentation in chroot(8) to
at least provide a pointer to the fact you now need to do either
the above, or somehow populate a /chroot/dev directory?

Can you even still statically create device nodes and have that
work, or is that now totally imposible with the full conversion
to devfs?
