I've just finished getting everything right for installing to a geli encrypted root partition. This requires the use of the shell in the installer during the disk partitioning stage and at the end of the install process. I've run into a problem: If you enter the shell at the end of the install process, the shell is now chroot'ed to the newly installed partition that was mounted on /mnt. The problem with this is that the functional /dev directory is inaccessible. The /dev directory that is accessible is empty! This is not that big of a deal since, the very next thing the installer offers you is the live-cd, which is not chroot'ed to /mnt it is back to where you would expect it to be. Is this something that perhaps should be mentioned in documentation?
