I bootstrap one of my boxes and running it in changeroot environment.
How to I ssh to root?

I've change in ssh/sshd_config "permit root login: yes"
it keep asking me for password but it does not recognize the password.

Did you set the root password with "passwd" and start sshd with "/etc/init.d/sshd start"?

Hmm, sounds like /dev isn't mounted in the chroot… did you do something like "mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev" before you chrooted?

Joseph_sys.

Try this after mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc

You need to use "mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev" so /dev/pts also gets mounted.

Glad you got it working! One quick note, though: "mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev" mounts /dev and its children, so you can skip the first "mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev".
