There is detailed description in the amd64-howto found hier:
http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id271960

Try this out with a script that passes the complete filename with the
correct syntax to chroot. Mounting the directory where the file exists
into the chroot is very important. Otherwise you got a "file not found"
error
