Thanks. I have just updated the wiki page
http://wiki.openvz.org/Gentoo_template_creation
with your comments.

one last (?) question remains:
Don't you think that the steps described in "Set up udev"
http://wiki.openvz.org/Gentoo_template_creation#Set_up_udev
are obsolete when RC_DEVICES is set to "static" in /etc/conf.d/rc?

Regards
Ronald
