I think the problem is that virtual /dev is a read-only filesystem, but 
if you make a real /dev directory; then you can write to it.  Could you 
run 'mkdir -p /dev' (without the quotes) and then try rerunning 
setup-x86_64.exe?  I suspect this will work then.

FWIW, I wonder why this entire script isn't handled by base-files.

This is due to a missing papersize(5) file.  I'm working on a fix, but a 
workaround is to run the following command, then rerun setup-x86_64.exe:

echo letter > /etc/papersize

This is from a SIGABRT in mkshortcut.  Chuck?
