Having forgotten this key piece of advice in my post to an earlier
thread, I'm sensitive to the fact that you must first have your
installation tree mounted (under /mnt/sysimage for the default approach
with the rescue boot from CD), then chroot to the mount point:

  # chroot /mnt/sysimage

It is also good to have a GRUB boot floppy prepared for such cases:

  # grub-install /dev/fd0
