[gentoo-user] fstab entries for /proc and tmpfs

just building a new qemu appliance and following the handbook it mentions the /proc an tmpfs file systems in fstab, but the stage template no longer has these entries - is the handbook out of date and openrc handles it? - or did I accidentally delete them? Do I still need those entries ... that wi
