You need to enable the "experimental features" option. Then it will appear. |

Unfortunately, the 2.4.10 kernel included with our most recent boot CD does |
15 |
not play nice with ext3. You may experience lockups or other weird problems |
16 |
during "emerge system" or bootstrap. If you want to use ext3, just use ext2 |
17 |
for the install and do an in-place upgrade of the filesystems after you have |
18 |
a 2.4.13+ kernel up and running. |
