I have found the easiest way to build a rootfs for guest systems on
Gentoo is to make a directory, unpack the stage1 system into the
directory, copy over your resolv.conf, chroot into the directory and
follow the initial Gentoo build sequence to get a basic system - without
adding a kernel or bootloader, of course. When you have done, exit the
chroot, tar up the directory from it's root level, then use dd and mkfs
to make a rootfs filesystem. Mount your rootfs filesystem on loopback
and untar the previous build directory onto it. Voila, a gentoo rootfs!
I believe the current usermode docs at the gentoo.org website suggest
something similar. Now, does anyone know of a simple way to make an FC3
rootfs?
