I've installed ROCK manually on multiple occasions.  After installing
the packages what I always do is:

chroot /mnt /bin/bash --login
mount /dev
mount /proc
ldconfig
passwd
stone
umount /dev /proc
exit

I haven't had any problems doing it that way.  Maybe we should have some
documentation on manual installs.  I can write something up on that but
it'd take me a week or two.
