Maybe my newbieness is showing here, or I have true insight, don't know
which, but it looks to me as there is an extra space in there.
chroot /mnt/debinst/bin/bash. Does that not work?
The first arg to chroot is the directory you want to change root to.
That is /mnt/debinst here. The second arg is the program you want to
run in the chroot. That is /bin/bash. The space is correct and
needed.
