From the Solaris 8 Man:

Maintenance Commands                                   chroot(1M)



NAME
     chroot - change root directory for a command

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/chroot newroot  command

DESCRIPTION
     The chroot utility causes  command to be  executed  relative
     to   newroot.  The meaning of any initial slashes (|) in the
     path names is changed to  newroot for  command  and  any  of
     its  child  processes.  Upon  execution, the initial working
     directory is newroot.

     Notice that redirecting the output of  command to a file,


     chroot newroot command >x


     will create the file x relative  to  the  original  root  of
     command, not the new one.

     The new root path name is always  relative  to  the  current
     root.  Even  if a chroot is currently in effect, the newroot
     argument is relative to the current root of the running pro-
     cess.

     This command can be run only by the super-user.

RETURN VALUES
     The exit status of chroot is the return value of command.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1: Using the chroot utility.

     The chroot utility provides an easy way to extract tar files
     (see  tar(1)) written with absolute filenames to a different
     location:

     example# cp /usr/sbin/static/tar /tmp
     example# dd if=/dev/nrst0 | chroot /tmp tar xvf -

     Note that tar is statically linked, so it is  not  necessary
     to copy any shared libraries to the  newroot filesystem.

NOTES
     Exercise extreme caution when referencing  device  files  in
     the new root file system.

     References by routines such as ttyname(3C) to stdin, stdout,
     and  stderr  will  find  that the device associated with the
     file descriptor is unknown after chroot is run.

My thoughts, maybe you just need to run a single command from within your chroot'd environment? I pasted the man because of the example with the tar command, and it's absolute filenames. Heed the warnings at the end though :)

Good Luck
