type mount while in chroot, and you should be able to confirm that you ran that command.. you should see a mount for /proc

Just type "exit" to get out of chroot.
Be very very sure to run these commands after you re-enter chroot to continue with the install:
| Code: | env-update
source /etc/profile |
