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...
