How can i make init chroot after executing /etc/rc, and executing

Go look at the NetBSD init(8) that can do this, and bring us
back a patch for this. Quote from the NetBSD init(8) manpage:

: 2. Multi-user boot (default operation). Executes /etc/rc (see rc(8)).
: If this was the first state entered (as opposed to entering here
: after state 1), then /etc/rc will be invoked with its first argument
: being `autoboot'. If /etc/rc exits with a non-zero (error) exit
: code, commence single user operation by giving the super-user a
: shell on the console by going to state 1 (single user). Otherwise,
: proceed to state 3.
:
: If value of the ``init.root'' sysctl node is not equal to / at this
: point, the /etc/rc process will be run inside a chroot(2) indicated
: by sysctl with the same error handling as above.
