I've been really afraid to post this for fear that it is something REALLY stupid, but I still can't figure it out.
I'm running a box-stock RedHat 6.1, no new kernel. Downloaded the dos.zip versions of both 1.7.361 and 2.0.96, created my flops, and booted tomsrtbt. Made all the mount points, mounted them, did the chroot --- and it doesn't work. Read all I could find that seemed related in the FAQ and the wikiwiki, and it seems they all say "chroot <mountpoint> /bin/sh" should do the job in most any environment (except for the RH7 stuff, but that's not a concern for now) Tried both versions of rtbt, with essentially identical results. OK, what bonehead blunder did I make? Here is my relevant configuration information. Putting on my flame-retardant suit now.
