Never mind... I've trashed that bagvapp gentoo appliance and built my
vmware gentoo guest from livecd.
I tried the (now aged) bagvapp vmware gentoo appliance because I've
had big troubles in the past getting a kernel to boot inside vmware.
I thought it might be easier to update the bagvapp appliance.
This time, after piddling with the latest kernel, I got it to boot
right on the first try .... (chest swelling to new dimensions)
But that Uppercase thing was a corker...
