try this:

#cdebootstrap --arch i386 sarge /var/chroot/sarge-ia32/ 
http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian

# mount -o bind /dev /var/chroot/sarge-ia32/dev/
# mount -o bind /proc /var/chroot/sarge-ia32/proc
# cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /var/chroot/sarge-ia32/etc

copy shadows, pass, gropus etc too...

nexy you must edit /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

and update and upgrade apt... (or upgarde to testing)

in etc/ld.so.conf on 64 bit

# chroot i386 system libs
/var/chroot/sarge-ia32/lib
/var/chroot/sarge-ia32/usr/lib
/var/chroot/sarge-ia32/usr/X11R6/lib
/var/chroot/sarge-ia32/usr/local/lib1

and after all you can install

apt-get install dchroot

in etc/dchroot.conf

stable /var/chroot/sarge-ia32/

last stage:

#dchroot -c stable -d firefox

After all i have problem with run firefox

(firefox-bin:21500): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
dchroot: Child exited non-zero.
dchroot: Operation failed.

i tryed :

export $DISPLAY=:0
and xhost + localhost

and others combination, but it didn't help.
