Instead of this, since you have a running Linux system, I would suggest
doing (from outside the chroot):
mount -o rbind /dev /mnt/debinst/dev

That wouldn't work if you were trying to install Debian from (e.g.) AIX, HP-
UX, or NCR UNIX, but, in that case, you'd have to reboot into Linux to
access the Linux LVM2 logical volumes anyway.
