OK, I'm writing this from an updated Gentoo VM running in Virtualbox
on my (as yet) not updated Gentoo server. Things went well. The only
semi-issue that came up for me so far was the rc-sys="" variable not
being set. The way upgrade doc is written I had the impression that
this only mattered if I was in a machine that ran VMs on it and not to
be done in the VM itself. Seems that you really want rc_sys to be set
for any Gentoo install I guess.
Not sure at this point how I'd tell if there was some other problem,
but as far as a simple VM goes it only took about 15 minutes to
complete the upgrade and it booted first time.
Cheers,
Mark
