interesting thank you. that works on the converted guest... on the new 32bit guest i made up originally to experiment with openrc/baselayout-2, i find it must use gentoo init style because it times out if using plain init style... this one i took a regular stage3 2008.0 standard gentoo i686 file, extracted it, installed baselayout2 and openrc and followed the openrc instructions in gentoo docs... i notice a major difference between the new one and the older one i converted last and that is the newer one has tty entries in the process listing. something ive never seen in a guest before. should i lock out the tty entries? or should i just try to remember that any new guests made with the 2008.0 template need gentoo init while any baselayout2/openrc conversions of previous but updated guests need plain init? could get a bit complicated..
