--- Comment #3 from John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> ---
You don't need devfs in your fstab, but it does need to get mounted.  Normally
for /dev, the kernel mounts it since the kernel needs /dev devices to exist to
find the device node for the root filesystem.  For alternate roots like
chroots/jails, devfs has to be mounted explicitly inside the alternate root. 
Probably the installer just needs to ensure it is mounted at /mnt/dev before
running commands via chroot.  That may mean just moving the existing mount of
/mnt/dev out of the auto path and into an "always" path.  In particular, it
doesn't hurt (AFAIK) to mount it more than once, so I'm not sure we need to try
to do a special case for /mnt/dev already being mounted.
