chroot /uclibc /bin/bash  (or /bin/sh, which is linked to bash)

shell-init:  error retrieving current directory:  getcwd: cannot access 
parent directories:  Function not implemented.
bash:  /root/.bashrc:  Function not implemented
.<#>

There is a /root/.bashrc

I type ls
sh: ls: command not found  (same for any other command)

ls does not work.  exit does.
There are /bin/ls and bash, and libc.a and libc.so (linked to 
libuClibc....).

Do I really just chroot or should I reboot to this partition somehow?
