When following the Installation via chroot guide, I encountered the small issue that xchroot would return the message special device /etc/resolv.conf does not exist. I thought that maybe a hint indicating to ensure that a network connection is configured might clear this up.

Add network requirement hint for xchroot

would probably be better to add this note earlier, as more than just xchroot in that guide would need network

also separately: it might be good to make xchroot not fail hard if resolv.conf doesn't work

I actually used void-installer and then skipped to https://docs.voidlinux.org/installation/guides/chroot.html#configuration to install Limine as my bootloader because it does not require an additional partition like GRUB does for GPT partitioned disks on BIOS. Because I rebooted into the live environment for some reason and forgot to reestablish my network connection, I ran into the described issue.
