I tried asking this question on the gentoo-vserver irc channel, but unfortunately I didn't get any response at all. I currently have a Gentoo host that is running multiple Gentoo guest os's. I have someone who wants me to install a RHEL4 guest for him, because he is more comfortable with it and it is required for this project. I really have no idea how to go about creating a guest other than a Gentoo guest. With Gentoo, I have a nice tarball that I started with, and I just updated that and use it for my template. With RHEL4, I have the install cd's. I have no idea how to go about using these cd's to install it as a guest. Any help or pointing me to some related docs would be appreciated.
I created an empty vserver in /vservers/RHEL4-base/ with "vserver-new". I used "rpm -i --prefix /vservers/RHEL4-base/" to install rpm and bash, with all the other package requirements I needed for these to work. I modified the /etc/vserver/RHEL4-base/fstab to include the mounted cdrom drive on /mnt/cdrom. I then chroot "/vservers/RHEL4-base/ /bin/bash" and installed all the packages I needed for a base image I could copy.
From that I created a tgz I could install with vserver-new.
