+
+* Configuration on Gentoo
+
+Before starting CFS, you will need to setup NFS.
+
+Add an export line to your /etc/exports configuration.  Such that an
+empty directory with no permissions is exported to localhost with
+read/write access.  This directory is known as the "null export"
+directory.  Portage has installed such a directory for you at
+/var/lib/cfs/.cfsfs, thus your /etc/exports line would look like this:
+
+    /var/lib/cfs/.cfsfs localhost(rw,sync)
+
+Add an entry to /etc/fstab which mounts the null export share to the
+"crypt root" mount point.  By default, Portage has installed such a
+mount point for you at /var/cfs, thus your /etc/fstab entry will look
+like this:
+
+    localhost:/var/lib/cfs/.cfsfs  /var/cfs  nfs  port=3049,intr,nfsvers=2 0 0
+
+At this point, you may restart NFS:
+
+    /etc/init.d/nfs restart
+    /etc/init.d/nfsmount restart
+
+Alternatively you can run the following commands:
+
+    exportfs -rv
+    mount -oport=3049,intr,nfsvers=2 localhost:/var/lib/cfs/.cfsfs /var/cfs
+
+Finally, start the CFS daemon:
+
+    /etc/init.d/cfs start
+
+* Differences between the Gentoo port and Debian port
+
+Differences in the Gentoo port include:
+
+    - No automatic manipulation of user configuration files such as
+      /etc/exports or /etc/fstab.  It is the user's responsibility to
+      update those files.
+
+    - cfs_*mount.sh included in Debian are not used.  The user must
+      manually add entries to /etc/fstab however the Gentoo RC system
+      will take care of automatically mounting/unmounting NFS and
+      starting CFS in the right order.
