In which case, you can't boot. Think about it.
Never mind the method. One way or another, it is very often possible for a normal users to set up a chroot environment with the device files that are needed. Maybe they do something obscene with the admin. :-) So chroot() is useful for users.
In my case, I _am_ the admin and I just don't want to run every damn little test program and hack as root.
