"ls -l" won't list chroot, but "find / | grep chroot" finds it in /sbin/ 
But "ls -l" won't show it there either. I am root so there shouldn't be 
any problem with that. Has the ownership been modified so I can't access 
it anymore? The same applies to files like /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab but 
not files in my home directory.
