Please post an exact transcript, so we can see what happens.
script(1) can do this.

Not sure what script is supposed to do, nor how to use it. I can just copy and paste what I type:

# chroot /mnt/hda3

Floating point exception

 

Also, install strace, and run "strace -f -F -o /tmp/log chroot
/mnt/hda3" and check the results of the log.  Put it up for download
somewhere, and we can take a look at it.
