Simon,
I have both x86-64 and i686 images on one x86-64 machine. The i686
exists in a chroot environment so that I can admin both architectures
on one machine (works great!). I share files across the images by
using mount with the "-o bind " option. Here is what I do on boot to
share parts of the x86-64 image with the i686 chroot. It can be done
for any file. You could also create hard links if the images are on
the same file system, but mine are not.
mount -o bind /dev /var/lib/systemimager/images/aes-i686/dev >/dev/null &
mount -o bind /dev/pts /var/lib/systemimager/images/aes-i686/dev/pts
>/dev/null &
mount -o bind /dev/shm /var/lib/systemimager/images/aes-i686/dev/shm
>/dev/null &
mount -o bind /proc /var/lib/systemimager/images/aes-i686/proc >/dev/null &
mount -o bind /proc/bus/usb
/var/lib/systemimager/images/aes-i686/proc/bus/usb >/dev/null &
mount -o bind /sys /var/lib/systemimager/images/aes-i686/sys >/dev/null &
mount -o bind /tmp /var/lib/systemimager/images/aes-i686/tmp >/dev/null &
mount -o bind /usr/portage
/var/lib/systemimager/images/aes-i686/usr/portage/ >/dev/null &
mount -o bind /usr/local /var/lib/systemimager/images/aes-i686/usr/local >
/dev/null &
mount -o bind /var/lib/systemimager/overrides
/var/lib/systemimager/images/aes-i686/var/lib/systemimager/overrides >
/dev/null &
mount -o bind /var/lib/systemimager/scripts
/var/lib/systemimager/images/aes-i686/var/lib/systemimager/scripts > /dev/null &
