[gentoo-user] Virtualbox documentation

Hi, arrgh! I just want to find a quick-start tutorial for Virtualbox on Gentoo, but Google shows up loads of tutorials for Gentoo in a Virtualbox. The Gentoo Wiki article's "Usage" paragraph does not contain any usable information. Does anybody have a hint for me? Thanks in advance. Bertram
