    However,

    $ ls /mnt/debinst | grep sys
    sys


    Why not ls -ld /mnt/debian/sys ? I don't know what happens if sys is a
    file.

    No, you don't need to bound mount if you create the device but nowadays
    I'm not sure that having device nodes on the partition makes sense YMMV

    ?? No one suggested trying to do bind mounts from inside the chroot.
    Clearly that is not going to work. Bind mounts are normally done from
    outside before you enter the chroot.

    If you want a step by step tutorial on how to install Debian bookworm
    into a chroot it's probably not that hard to find and I would recommend following something like that (assuming you really want to do a chroot
    install) because it seems like you are struggling with some of the
    fundamentals here.

    Thanks,
    Andy
