Greetings

I have qemu compiled statically and want  to have a go and chrooting into a 
foreign environment.

#-------
I read through the manual page of qemu  and there is a 
-chroot switch   and a
-runas switch  that work together


Now normally  the chroot command can  be invoked   with specifing the chroot 
directory as well as   the specified shell  and other envars
(   for example
chroot  fakeroot  /somewhere/bin/env -i   /somewhere/bin/bash   --login +h   )


At first reading of the qemu manpage the -chroot switch appears to take care 
of   this part "chroot  fakeroot "  of the above comand

QUESTION
=======
can chroot be invoked with the -chroot switch in qemu   with commands for env 
and  login as  shown  the example  above?

thanks in advance

sincerely
lux-integ
