My latest Lone Coder column, very long and technical:

"Regardless if you think Gentoo is genius or madness, a manual install
represents the ultimate challenge to boot Linux on VirtualBox.

This document assumes you have a basic understanding of setting up a
Linux computer, such as how to build a kernel and how to format a disk
partition. "Host" refers to the operating system running VirtualBox, in
this case, Windows Vista. "Guest" refers to the operating system running
within VirtualBox, in this case, Gentoo Linux. I use "gentoo #" as a
root Gentoo prompt but your actual prompt may be a different one...."
