Each of my five boxes has a small Gentoo rescue system in a spare partition, |
| 9 |
intended for just this kind of use. However, in every case, when I attempt |
| 10 |
to chroot into the main system from the rescue system I get a |
| 11 |
permission-denied error. Exactly the same chroot command works as expected |
| 12 |
if I've booted an installation CD. |

Rather defeats the object of having a rescue system. |
