If you are like me, chances are that you could not resist the urge to download and install Microsoft's public beta of the upcoming Windows 7 release.

So, I did install it at the expense of having my Fedora 10 GRUB overwritten by Windows 7's installer. Although W7 works fine now, I lost the ability to boot into FC10.

I booted the laptop using my FC 10 LiveCD and tried to do the mount root / chroot / grub-install routine that is described everywhere in the Internet, but I found that the chrooted system has no devices under /dev and this makes grub-install fail.
