Gee, guys, I've covered this a couple of times before. I can't launch the shell until I chroot or I lose the floppy. I can't chroot until I've got a reasonable enough environment to chroot *to* or it's kinda pointless! That's why it makes the most sense to chroot after I have the root floppy. Yes, I agree it's a pain. Give me some fix for the problem that clamps down on the root floppy and I'll happily fork off the EHS any time you like! It might not be *usable* for anything immediately (don't forget, there are no `mount' commands or any number of other things until the root fs is loaded!) but you'll have it.
