If you're interested in chrooting to BL3, here is a snippet
from the ash manpage:

       If the first character of argument zero to  the  shell  is
       ``-'',  the  shell is assumed to be a login shell, and the
       files /etc/profile and .profile are read  if  they  exist.

Apparently, there is yet another method for ash:

SH_INIT="/etc/profile" chroot /mnt /bin/ash

Does anyone know the equivalents for other shells?

David
