[gentoo-dev] Problem with chroot while installation

[Enrico Zschemisch]

Hi,

I tried to install gentoo linux with the boot floppy and the sys tarball.
Everything was ok, until I tried to "chroot /mnt/gentoo". I get this error
message: chroot. TERM=linux: no such file or directory

can anybody give me a hint how to solve this problem, please? thanks.


ciao enrico


PS: Sorry for my bad english, but i´m german :|

Hi!

Have you tried, "chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash", it should use
(according to chroot manpage) /bin/sh if you haven't given the second
argument. But perhaps your chroot doesn't do that. Worth a try anyway.

Good luck,
Mikael Hallendal

It´s a pity, but this does not work ;(
Any other hints?

hmm, that worked for me .. is your new unpacked gentoo tree really mounted
to /mnt/gentoo ?!?
dumb question, but the only problem i can see :)

Yes, everything is mounted in the right way and at the right place (I think
so). I have unpacked everything to /mnt/gentoo and after this there were
some more directorys than I created before and all filled with files.
