You need to enable the "experimental features" option. Then it will appear.

Unfortunately, the 2.4.10 kernel included with our most recent boot CD does
not play nice with ext3. You may experience lockups or other weird problems
during "emerge system" or bootstrap. If you want to use ext3, just use ext2
for the install and do an in-place upgrade of the filesystems after you have
a 2.4.13+ kernel up and running.
