You don't need a the whole chroot thing if you only want flash and java working in your firefox. In this case: * use firefox-bin (a 32bit firefox binary provided by portage) * the (usual) 32 bit flash plugin * a _32 bit_ libjavaplugin_oji.so : the java plugin file, you could copy one from your other gentoo 32 bit system. I don't know if this is just luck, but I only have dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.02 which is compiled in 64 bit and it does work! mplayerplug-in does not want to work for now as far as I have tested (that is, not so much). Hope that helps. I think building and maintaining a whole 32bit chroot is really annoying, and after all you can run most 32bits apps out of a chroot with the provided emul packages.
