tty8 and X in chroot


Hello everyone,

I'm getting ready to try building GNOME 3.8 in a chroot enviroment and, I want to have my tty8 default to my chroot when I spawn it. While running X(once I mange to get through dependency hell). Even I'm unable to get X. I would like my chroot to spawn on tty8.

Thanks
