mount -t proc proc /proc

that should do the trick.

you could try mounting it again from inside of the chroot after umounting it...

I just checked. Is empty the folder. What I saw had belonged to the livecd
What to do if the folder Is empty?

In fact in the stage file the folder PROC is empty

as proc is a directory provided by the kernel (you have to mount it)

OP: /proc is supposed to be empty in the downloaded ISO. It must exist so that a filesystem can be mounted there, but the pseudo-filesystem that is mounted at /proc is created and managed by the kernel, so it cannot be in the downloaded ISO.
