You copy the bootstrap template from the Chef gem directory on your local
workstation system to ~/.chef/bootstrap. The location depends on your
installation method on the local system. You can use the "gem which"
command. For example, in my rbenv installation of Chef:

% gem which chef/knife
/Users/jtimberman/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p327/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/chef-
10.16.2/lib/chef/knife.rb

There's a "knife/bootstrap" directory under lib/chef there. Under an
"omnibus" installation of Chef:


% /opt/chef/embedded/bin/gem which chef/knife
/opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/chef-10.16.2/lib/chef/knife.rb


Copy the bootstrap template file from the knife/bootstrap directory, then,
modify it as you need. It's a shell script with some embedded Ruby for
helpers from knife and your knife.rb.

Alternately, you could try the 'chef-full' template, which is the default,
and it installs the Omnibus package of Chef, and shouldn't have this
problem at all since it is built with moneta 0.6.0.
