can not mount /proc in chroot

i have experienced two problems so far
First one is related to the partition. As discussed elsewhere. i have tried to partition twice but fdisk reports as the partitiong not ending at cylindder boundry.
i decided to move on to next step and see how far I can go?

Second problem is where I am stuck right now.
After paritional and mounting the usb drive under /mnt/flashdrv. i tried to run debootstrap and i receive error message about can not run mount The full message is as follows.

wolverine:~# debootstrap --arch i386 sid /mnt/flashdrv/
I: Retrieving Packages
I: Validating Packages
I: Resolving dependencies of required packages...
I: Resolving dependencies of base packages...
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /mnt/flashdrv mount -t proc proc /proc

if I try to manually run the command for mount. i get the similar message as posted by someone else.

wolverine:~# chroot /mnt/flashdrv/ mount -t proc proc /proc
chroot: cannot run command `mount': No such file or directory

I just ran aptitude update && aptitude upgrade to make sure my installation was upto date.
I am running debian unstable. I have 1GB flash drive /dev/sdc partitioned into two partitions ( /dev/sdc1 , /dev/sdc2) mounted as / and /boot respectively.

Any help suggests would be much appreciated.
