Why are you wanting this symlink?  Once the bproc daemon on the slave
chroot's to /rootfs, there really isn't any way to access the real / as
all the jobs that get propegated over there use /rootfs as their /.
If the node came up all the way, there's no way to access the real / for
reading or writing, so I don't see what good this would do you.

If you're trying to start up something before the chroot happens, I
suggest you do it after.  It'll save you the headache of trying to make
both / and /rootfs a sane root to run your programs in.
