I had no luck getting baselayout-2 running with Openvz.  I did have luck with 
taking a regular stage 3, un-taring and chrooting into it, unmerging udev and 
creating static nodes under /dev for null, zero, console, ptmx, pytp0, ... and 
then re-taring it back into a openvz template.  So far it is working beautifully.

I don't understand why Gentoo releases separate openvz and vserver stages when 
a small script can convert a regular stage 3?
