1. For the /sys/block issue, from outside the chroot jail, mount /sys so that its bound to the external systems /sys. Like so:
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/buildroot/sys
2. Thanks for the heads up on localepurge, I'll keep it in mind if others have trouble.
3. Yes, whatever bootloader you choose to use, needs to have it binaries installed inside and outside the chroot jail. Most people prefer to use what they normally use so thats normally not an issue. And the rest of us can just install the deb package for the other in our base system. Additionally, some problems with /dev can be worked around by temp mounting /dev/ like we did /sys above. Try that.
re: Help with mkinitrd.yaird
