I got that covered. I found this little tid bit of info. OP may want
to make a note of this too. Pssssst, you see this?

I like the buildsyspkg part. At least I will have the system packages
and can boot up.
Once I even merged busybox to the root filesystem. It overwrites all the
Unix tools with symlinks to busybox. Cool, you get a tiny install that
can go on an embedded device.
Sounds cool, for the right equipment. ;-) Maybe not a desktop or a
fancy server, on second thought. :-p
BUT, busybox give you tar, it does not give you tar -o
Guess which gentoo-specific app requires tar -o? Do I hear the
word "portage"? Anyone??
Naturally. What else could use that?
