The rescue disk should automatically put you in as a root user, so there should be no need of su'ing to it. Its rather strange that chroot is not working, one thing to keep in mind is that the linux shell is case sensitive, so typing "CHROOT" instead of "chroot" will not work. Also, did the rescue disk show any errors while loading up?
