I'm trying to edit the inittab also, and likewise, the changes don't 
persist/propagate.

When you says you "edit /etc/inittab on a chroot local hook" what does that 
mean?

I've tried modifying that file, even deleting it completely, but when I boot 
into the distro, the "old" or unmodified inittab is present.

Thanks.
