I created an empty vserver in /vservers/RHEL4-base/ with "vserver-new".
I used "rpm -i --prefix /vservers/RHEL4-base/" to install rpm and
bash, with all the other package requirements I needed for these to
work.
I modified the /etc/vserver/RHEL4-base/fstab to include the mounted
cdrom drive on /mnt/cdrom.
I then chroot "/vservers/RHEL4-base/ /bin/bash" and installed all the
packages I needed for a base image I could copy.
