How-to chroot into Gentoo

• bzip2
• tar
• chroot
• stage3-ppc-uclibc-2005.0 (recommended for gentoo chroot) or stage3-ppc-uclibc-2006.1 (recommended for gentoo boot).
• portage

1. ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/bzip2 /mnt/HD_a2/bzcat
2. mkdir /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo
3. cd /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo
4. /mnt/HD_a2/bzcat stage3-ppc-uclibc-2005.0.tar.bz2 | /mnt/HD_a2/tar -xvpf -
5. cd /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo/usr
6. /mnt/HD_a2/bzcat portage-latest.tar.bz2 | /mnt/HD_a2/tar -xvf -
7. mount -o bind /dev /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo/dev
8. mount -t proc none /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo/proc
9. cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo/etc/
10. /mnt/HD_a2/chroot /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo /bin/bash
11. env-update && source /etc/profile
12. rc-update add net.eth0 default
13. rc-update add dropbear default
14. passwd root

If you did choose to use 2005.0 stage then you must update e2fsprogs!

1. emerge e2fsprogs

Always make sure that devfsd is installed!

1. emerge -pv devfsd

It is also recommended that you update sys-apps/baselayout package. Its needed by net configuration to change mac address
However, by default, baselayout pulls in and builds module-init-tools with support only for 2.6 kernels. So, to allow the updated module-init-tools to be built with support for both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels:

1. echo "sys-apps/module-init-tools old-linux" >> /etc/portage/package.use
2. emerge sys-apps/baselayout

net is needed only if you are going to boot gentoo using loader.o or flashed custom kernel.

wireless is needed only if you are going to boot gentoo using loader.o or flashed custom kernel.

1. cd /usr/portage
2. rm -r `gawk '{ printf(”%s ”,$2) }' /etc/portage/rsync_excludes`

1. USE=unicode emerge links

• NTPclient
• DSMG600 button and leds

If you have exited from chroot environment after installing gentoo chroot or if you have rebooted your DSM-G600 then you need following commands to enter back in chroot environment.

1. mount -o bind /dev /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo/dev
2. mount -t proc none /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo/proc
3. /mnt/HD_a2/chroot /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo /bin/bash

will fail by default due to the default kernel not supporting uni98 ptys.

Correct build:

EXTRA_ECONF=--disable-openpty emerge dropbear
 

First time installation:

ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random
mkdir /etc/dropbear/
/usr/bin/dropbearkey -t dss -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key
/usr/bin/dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key

Auto-start from fun_plug (assuming a working busybox):

ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/bin/busybox /bin/chroot
ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/bin/busybox /bin/makedevs
cd /dev
/bin/makedevs ptyp c 2 0 0 9
/bin/makedevs ttyp c 3 0 0 9
ln -s urandom random

mount -o bind /dev /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo/dev
mount -t proc none /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo/proc
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo/etc/

/bin/chroot /mnt/HD_a2/gentoo /usr/sbin/dropbear

• If you can't get to the login then press ctrl+c right after /dev and sda3 is mounted.
• If your root file system is read-only then use mount -t ext3 -o rw,remount /dev/sda3 / to get write access.
