I booted in rescue mode (using FC3 CD1), did a

I've done that several times with FC1 and never

Before you chroot, do a mount --bind /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev
Thank you Paul! I was not aware that mount had this nice --bind feature. Good to know!
Now I don't know why, but the mount command available in the rescue mode (/usr/bin/mount) doesn't recognize the --bind option (neither the -h, -V or -l options). So I had to use my installed mount command instead: /mnt/sysimage/bin/mount /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev and this one got the job done. After having a closer look, I realized that /usr/bin/mount is in fact a link to buzybox but could not figure what's this all about...
