My case is the following: I have a NAS with a linux firmware that I cannot change (without hardware modifications). The provided distribution is good enough to let me ssh into it, but not very flexible. I would like to have an installation of arch in a chroot environment within the distribution, so that I could use the great arch software repository and tools to manage my NAS (e.g. installing a mail client, a torrent client,...).
I already did this quite successfully with Debian (see Debootstrap) and Gentoo has support for it as well. With Debian, for instance, I had a service in the main OS (the one booted with the firmware), which prepared the Debian system (e.g. some bind mounts) and started a few services like SSH of Debian in a chroot environment. Then I would SSH into Debian and have this as my main system.
Can I do something similar with Arch? In a sense the arch-chroot script is what I need at startup time, but how should I install the system? Is there a clean and well documented way?
