That depends on your definition of Gentoo. If you consider a root |
| 10 |
filesystem managed using portage to be Gentoo, than this busybox |
| 11 |
environment would be Gentoo. |

They boot to an initrd containing busybox, then proceed to mount |
| 14 |
necessary bits from a read-only NFS export and other bits via tmpfs |
| 15 |
where they need to write, then pivot_root into the new NFS root. |

what. |
