This is a common prob, as whoami is not installed yet, so you have to fake
one, to do this you just need to make a file called whoami in / of your
root HD partition and put in it echo root, and make it an executable

eg

cd /
echo echo root > whoami
chmod a+x whoami

that should cure the prob, I think I've got the right cmd list there.
