Arm qemu chroot

apt-get install qemu-user-static

We need to mount the image using loopback, but since the image contains multiple partitions, we require kpartx

$ sudo kpartx -a -v 2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian.img  add map loop0p1 (252:8): 0 114688 linear /dev/loop0 8192 add map loop0p2 (252:9): 0 5763072 linear /dev/loop0 122880  $ sudo mount /dev/mapper/loop0p2 /mnt/temp

sudo cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /mnt/temp/usr/bin sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/temp/dev sudo mount -o bind /proc /mnt/temp/proc sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/temp/sys

This registers the static QEMU we copied as arm-interpreter to the kernel. The path specified needs to be the same on both your linux machine and the Raspberry Pi environment.
