Installation, lost at "chroot"

[angus71]

Hi there!

I'm new to funtoo - to linux too to be honest... :-)

I tried an installation according to the section "install" at the website.

Everything worked until i came to the headline "chroot into Funtoo"; actualy in this part it's NOT

mentioned how to chroot in the new system EXACTLY.

I tried several approachses like "chroot /dev/sdc" because there would be my root directory, according

to the previous steps.. But it doesn't work a bit. I searched the net but found nothing that helped me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help

Hi cardinal!

Thank you again for your suggestion! It worked flawlessly!

Now the system is set up and rebooted. Next step will be - when i will be able to

spare time again - to install and setup xorg. Maybe you will find there a new post from me.... :P

Greetings

Following the install instructions to the letter.

Your target install partition /dev/sdc should be mounted to the working directory which is /mnt/funtoo

The period . after chroot is a shortcut for the working directory.

# env -i HOME=/root TERM=$TERM chroot . bash -l

Find your working directory with print working directory command:

pwd

If pwd outputs /mnt/funtoo then:

# env -i HOME=/root TERM=$TERM chroot . bash -l

is the same as

# env -i HOME=/root TERM=$TERM chroot /mnt/funtoo bash -l

I tried  install Funtoo according tutorial from official website  http://www.funtoo.org/Install

and this tutorial : 

and everything went very well , ... until chrooting 

i got answer : ... can not run ... bin bash, .. any error  ... ( ? )

and even appear change (before #) on (chroot) but later i couldn't do nothing

I also tried  apply above advanced commands ( # env ...  ... bash -1 )

and without succes too :-(

What I did for my chroot is more in line with the Gentoo style.

mount -t proc /proc /mnt/funtoo/proc

mount --rbind /dev /mnt/funtoo/dev

mount --make-rslave /mnt/funtoo/dev

mount --rbind /sys /mnt/funtoo/sys

mount --make-rslave /mnt/funtoo/sys

chroot /mnt/funtoo /bin/bash

This works fine for me; doing it in accordance with the docs didn't maintain my network connection for some reason. Maybe this is a bad way to chroot, but I hope this helps someone.
