That will work, assuming you mapped something to /dev/mapper/main with cryptsetup already. Also, I think you meant /media/boot. Also, /mnt should be available, no reason to insist on media. ash is fine, it's what is provided by busybox in the initramfs. I usually do: # mount /dev/mapper/main /mnt # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot # for m in dev proc sys; do mount --bind /$m /mnt/$m; done # chroot /mnt _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
