Use a small initramfs. That's the Right Thing to do in the first place.

... or use a statically linked chroot program (not necessarily to be

For what it's worth:

: tazenda 102 ; ls -l ~/klibc/klibc/usr/utils/static/chroot
-rwxrwxr-x 1 hpa hpa 8488 2008-03-06 14:04 /home/hpa/klibc/klibc/usr/utils/static/chroot*
