  Any of the above steps that are not necessary?

 Other have commented about the .../boot stuff but in dozens of times
 chrooting during all kinds of install situations I've never done
   `mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev'

 And far as I know it never caused me a problem.

I assume you have a static /dev setup then, probably not visible after udev 
has created new entries. Could you try the mount -o bind stuff and check if 
the contents of /dev and /mnt/gentoo/dev differ? Typical devices like 
[hs]d[a-d] should be present in both trees, so the chroot /dev will work, 
too, at least for most practical purposes, like setting up grub.

On the other hand, my /dev only has two files in it (console and null), the 
rest is created by udev. In a chroot, they are gone, and grub would not 
work.

I got that directly from the current handbook. I'll omit that step.

It's a CF-ide setup. One very cool thing is I can move the CF
to a usb-CF reader and just edit the CF as I like, without
entering chroot... Very nice feature of a CF based Hard drive.


Thanks to all that responded.
