I ended up hacking the vserver script to make it work with Gentoo. My patches
follow below. Essentially since /etc/init.d/rc does not exist in Gentoo, the
vserver script defaults to /etc/rc.d/rc which also does not exist in Gentoo.
This hack determines the proper STARTCMD by examining the Gentoo vserver's
/etc/inittab file for the line containing field 2 matching $INITDEFAULT
(usually 3) and "/sbin/rc" in the command. This seems to work for me...
FWIW I have Mandrake 9.0 as my host OS and vservers for Debian, Gentoo, and
both Mandrake 8.2 and 9.0.
