no. This is normal. /dev is populated by udev. If you chroot from a livecd, you need to bind mount dev to your chroots dev first. And there is no reason to redo the installation. Grub is sometimes REALLY annoying to setup. But usually it works as long as you are staying close to the tutorial in info grub.
