[Q] Is it possible to use chroot to install Roms on the NT?

This isn't bypassing the bootloader, thus I didn't want to step on the toes of the Devs on the other thread...but I came across this article!

Yes, I know the performance will never be as good as directly accessing the hardware, but the NT is a lot beefier than the NC, so it might not be as bad. It wouldn't be easy build the image, either, but if it's possible, what's learned doing this might be useful for the day, hopefully, that the boot loader is unlocked/bypassed.

I'm also thinking that it would be easier to port a modified android ROM vs another operating system like Ubuntu or Debian. Thoughts?

Nevermind.

I got a chroot of gentoo running just fine. I'm sure ubuntu or debian or whatever would be just as easy.

That's great that Linux is working...I was thinking more about running a CM7 or CM9 alpha modified iso inside of stock using chroot!

The thought being that CM7 (or similar Nook Roms) should be easier to setup than Ubuntu or Fedora, and that we wouldn't need to worry about the boot loader. Again, it's not as ideal as bypassing the boot loader, but it would be nice to have CM7 or CM9 while that's being worked on.
