I'm not sure why you're running chroot in a %post --nochroot script. Seems like
it'd be easier to just run "myscript" in a regular %post script. But you could
give this a shot:

chroot /mnt/sysimage /mnt/sysimage/workingdir/myscript

This will run /mnt/sysimage/workingdir/myscript with /mnt/sysimage as /.

Because the chroot utility is not provided by anaconda. It's part of the
coreutils package.
