Description Igor Korot 2005-07-31 21:19:12 UTC 
In the Installation Tips and Tricks manual for the Software RAID part, it 
mentions that the command "mknod" should be run. But it doesn't say that this 
command should be run inside the chrooted environment again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the link http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-
tipsntricks.xml#software-raid
2. Follow the instruction of the Gentoo installation.
3.

Actual Results:  
The LILO installation will break with the warning that the /dev/md0 doesn't 
exists.

Expected Results:  
When run the "mknod /dev/md0" right before issuing the "/sbin/lilo", 
everything was fine.

the command shouldnt be run inside of the chroot

we should duplicate "Code Listing 2.4: Bind-mounting /dev" in the software raid
section
