To install Gentoo on VirtualBox, there is a good tutorial :
http://rmtheis.wordpress.com/2011/03/14/gentoo-x86-linux-installation-on-a-virtualbox-image/
Some notes :
- Ethernet card :
Be sure to choose the same card for your kernel and your VirtualBox.(Me I didn't choose to make the install with Genkernel)
- Partition /boot :
Don't put ext2 in the /etc/fstab file.It's better to put ext3 else if you should have problems by executing mount /boot/.Me I had the following error : unknow filesystem ext2.
So to convert ext2 -> ext2 I have to do (cf http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/possible-to-convert-ext2-to-ext3-266806/):
* Log in as root
* Make sure /etc/fstab has /dev/hda10 mounted to /test as ext2, read write
* umount /dev/hda10
o If you can't unmount it, then remount it read only (mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda10)
* tune2fs -j /dev/hda10
* Edit /etc/fstab, and for /dev/hda10, change ext2 to ext3
* mount /dev/hda10
* /sbin/shutdown -h now
* mount | grep /dev/hda10
o If it's not shown as ext3, reboot, if still not, troubleshoot
o Otherwise, you're done.

The more simple is that you choose directly ext3 :
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults,noatime 1 2 |
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0 |
/dev/sda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1 |
Notes : TODO ext4
