I'm cross installing Devuan on a newly instaslled SSD. I've
cross istalled successfully before, but ran into trouble this time
trying to bñind mouning /dev.

I'm told to bind mount /dev from my host system on top of /dev
in the target system. I'm told to use this optiion is dangerous.

A question. Is this bind mount in fact optional?

Another quetion: if not optinal what would be the comand? These don't
work:

    \# mount --rbind /dev dev/
    \# mount --bind  /dev/ /mnt/devinst/dev

Yet another question: if dangerou would I better of using makedev to
create device file for my new partitios and then bind mount them
individually as normal?
