Hey Les -
I haven't tried this but were you looking at /dev *after* you did the
chroot? It sort of makes sense to me that the running kernel would only
populate it's /dev, not the chrooted /dev. Rescue mounts at least the
root partition under /mnt/sys (or something like that). Before you
chroot, you should probably also mount any other partitions you want
under /mnt/sys and then chroot.
Cheers,
Dave
