Just set up my own 32 bit chroot using this guide. Many thanks to Luis Medinas!

I replaced the original OpenRC script with a version containing a little less boilerplate. Additionally, I removed the lines having to do with the deprecated usbfs filesystem:

FILE /etc/init.d/gentoo32Creating a 32-bit chroot switcher

#!/sbin/openrc-run

chroot_dir=/mnt/gentoo32

depend() {
   need localmount
   need bootmisc
}

start() {
    ebegin "Mounting 32-bit chroot directories"
    mount -o bind /dev ${chroot_dir}/dev >/dev/null
    mount -o bind /dev/pts ${chroot_dir}/dev/pts >/dev/null &
    mount -o bind /dev/shm ${chroot_dir}/dev/shm >/dev/null &
    mount -o bind /proc ${chroot_dir}/proc >/dev/null
    mount -o bind /sys ${chroot_dir}/sys >/dev/null &
    mount -o bind /tmp ${chroot_dir}/tmp >/dev/null &
    mount -o bind /usr/portage ${chroot_dir}/usr/portage/ >/dev/null &
    eend $? "An error occured while attempting to mount 32bit chroot directories"
    ebegin "Copying 32bit chroot files"
    cp -pf /etc/resolv.conf ${chroot_dir}/etc >/dev/null &
    cp -pf /etc/passwd ${chroot_dir}/etc >/dev/null &
    cp -pf /etc/shadow ${chroot_dir}/etc >/dev/null &
    cp -pf /etc/group ${chroot_dir}/etc >/dev/null &
    cp -pf /etc/gshadow ${chroot_dir}/etc >/dev/null &
    cp -pf /etc/hosts ${chroot_dir}/etc > /dev/null &
    cp -Ppf /etc/localtime ${chroot_dir}/etc >/dev/null &
    eend $? "An error occured while attempting to copy 32 bits chroot files."
}

stop() {
    ebegin "Unmounting 32-bit chroot directories"
    umount -f ${chroot_dir}/dev/pts >/dev/null
    umount -f ${chroot_dir}/dev/shm >/dev/null
    umount -f ${chroot_dir}/dev >/dev/null &
    umount -f ${chroot_dir}/proc >/dev/null &
    umount -f ${chroot_dir}/sys >/dev/null &
    umount -f ${chroot_dir}/tmp >/dev/null &
    umount -f ${chroot_dir}/usr/portage/ >/dev/null &
    eend $? "An error occured while attempting to unmount 32bit chroot directories"
}

I think it would be nice to change the script in the article as well. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Iriomotejin (talk • contribs) 21:54, September 8, 2016‎

I updated the script and made a few other changes including the point of this change. --Grknight (talk) 00:41, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
