Suppose that a directory /dir contains a system (file hierarchy). To change root to it (without booting and logging):

  • Boot from a rescue CD or USB disk, e.g., Slackware Setup disk
  • # for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys; do mount --bind $i /dir$i; done
  • # chroot /dir

To exit from chroot:

  • # exit
  • # for i in /sys /proc /dev/pts /dev; do umount /dir$i; done
