    /ascii/dev should exist already. You just need to mount it.
    I suggest also the following:
    mount -t proc none /ascii/proc
    mount -t sysfs none /ascii/sys

    This raises the question: "how did you clone your OS?" Because, if
you copied it while /dev, /sys, /proc, and /run where mounted, then you
have stored a lot of things that shouldn't be there. Better check and
empty those directories on /ascii.
