Yeah, sorry if I didn't mention before. In the interest of size, I remove the portage tree (and also kernel sources) before creating the image. So in order to do portage-related stuff one must first: # emerge --sync > Once that was > resolved I kept getting really strange output from emerge.

This appears normal to me... Oh perhaps because I have "--jobs=2" in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in /etc/make.conf. That's what the output normally looks like if you use --jobs... Nevertheless the output definately looks normal (to me). You can change make.conf to suit your tastes. > So it appears, so far, the appliance is not usable on Vbox.

That should not be the case with it requiring a password, or else I uploaded the wrong image. Nevertheless, I'll upload another one shortly. -a
