Documentation for chroot into offline Silverblue #403

Following these instructions with a Silverblue installation doesn't work. The chroot step fails because the OSTree deployment is not mounted, so bash is not accessible. This community suggestion to chroot into the OSTree deployment apparently worked for someone, but for me it failed with an error (likely due to a difference of BIOS vs UEFI).

In addition to bootloader repair, chroot into Silverblue from a live CD is required to solve “the root account is locked” problems, ostree fsck, and probably several other boot-chain-relevant repair operations.

Did you ever find a solution to this?
