I tried to install Gentoo inside the Bochs IA32 emulator.
I could not achieve to load the Ethernet adapter module.
I achieved to use this virtual Ethernet adapter (NE2000-compatible) with
a Debian guest but not with the Gentoo installation image guest ('basic'
CD image).
See the attached installation trace.

Logging in user "root" with autologin
Welcome to the Gentoo Linux LiveCD!
The root password on this system has been auto-scrambled for security.
If any ethernet adapters were detected at boot, they should be auto-configured
if DHCP is available on your network. Type "net-setup eth0" to specify eth0 IP
address settings by hand.
/proc/config for kernel configuration.
To start an ssh server on this system, type "/etc/init.d/sshd start". If you
need to log in remotely as root, type "passwd root" to reset root's password to
a known value.
Stage tarball(s), distfiles and packages can be found in /mnt/cdrom/.
View installation instructions by typing "links /mnt/cdrom/install.html" or
"links http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml"; for the latest
version from the gentoo.org Web site.
Please report any bugs you find to http://bugs.gentoo.org. Be sure to include
detailed information about how to reproduce the bug you are reporting. Thanks
for using Gentoo Linux!
