For those Gentoo installations that used the pre-prepared baselayout or stage3
for vserver guests, add this line to every guest/etc/inittab including the
template if you use one.
# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -r now
if this is added to a running guest, then do
telinit q
within the guest.
Even if you used a different method, check inittab anyway to be sure this is
there.
This addition will cure the stop time outs happening when attempting to shut
down via the vservers init script or using vserver guest stop.
