Right.
Or an alternate root spec in your bootloader (e.g.: LILO, GRUB,
LOADLIN.EXE, etc.).

If you're installing via debootstrap, they appear _not_ to run, last I
checked (last week on an install). Instead, a 'fakestart' is invoked as
daemons are installed. Anyone knowing otherwise please advise.
Once you've configured the chroot, you can start and stop daemons as you
wish. Note that these share kernelspace with daemons run outside the
chroot, and may conflict on sockets or other resources. In general, I'd
recommend against doing this intentionally.
If you want to run jailed daemons, UML (user-mode Linux) is a better
bet.
Peace.
