Installing fresh gentoo in guest vm on win7

Before I even try to configure a kernel, because I've been down this
road a few times, and so far have always had trouble getting a kernel
config that boots first time on gentoo vm.

The vm is a gentoo guest installed with  Vbox on windows 7.

Its been a while since I've done this but I recall having trouble
getting the right drivers so that disks are properly discovered during
boot.

I think this kind of config is pretty generic but still manage to get
it wrong repeatedly.

Can anyone post a kernel .config that is known to boot a gentoo Vbox
vm installed on windows 7.  Or is there a generic config that will do
that?  I've tried genkernel in the past too, and still no boot on a vm.

I guess it would be kernel-3.1.4.
