Ah! Good. Tried that, worked, but lost the red color. So I found the 
original PS1 (10.3) and changed it thus:

nimrodel:/ # export PS1=$'\\[\E[1m\E[31m\\]NOT_\\h:\\w # \\[\E(B\E[m\\]'
NOT_nimrodel:/ #

which is a good enough approximation to what I want, thanks. I wrote it as 
a comment in my script before the chroot command, because after it, it 
doesn't execute (and I don't want to change the profile or bashrc):

echo
echo "   Copy paste the next line to activate prompt change:"
echo "export PS1=$'\\[\E[1m\E[31m\\]NOT_\\h:\\w # \\[\E(B\E[m\\]'"
echo
chroot /otros/test_d/ /bin/bash --login


So thanks, and thanks also to Volker for the "login" hint.
