== Debootstrap ==
Use the latest debootstrap package
echo 'http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.29_all.deb' > \
/etc/vservers/.defaults/apps/debootstrap/uri

Create the new guest
vserver <guest name> build -m debootstrap --context <context #> \
--hostname <hostname> --force --interface eth0:<ipaddress>/<netmask> \
-- -d maverick -m http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ \
-- --arch=amd64 --exclude=udev --initstyle default

== Update guest fstab ==
Add the following to /etc/vservers/<guestname>/fstab
none /var/run tmpfs size=16m,nosuid,mode=0755 0 0
none /var/lock tmpfs size=16m,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0

== Service Cleanup ==
Remove Upstart services that aren't needed in a guest
for x in console-setup.conf dmesg.conf hostname.conf hwclock-save.conf hwclock.conf mountall-net.conf \
mountall-reboot.conf mountall-shell.conf mountall.conf network-interface.conf networking.conf procps.conf \
rsyslog-kmsg.conf tty1.conf tty2.conf tty3.conf tty4.conf tty5.conf tty6.conf upstart-udev-bridge.conf \
plymouth*.conf udev*.conf ureadahead*.conf control-alt-delete.conf module-init-tools.conf mounted-dev.conf \
network-interface-security.conf; do rm -f /vservers/<guestname>/etc/init/${x}; done

== Upstart script ==
Put the following in /vservers/mschef03/etc/init/vserver.conf
start on startup
script
touch /var/run/utmp
chown root:utmp /var/run/utmp
chmod 664 /var/run/utmp
initctl emit virtual-filesystems --no-wait
initctl emit local-filesystems --no-wait
initctl emit remote-filesystems --no-wait
initctl emit filesystem --no-wait
end script

== Start your guest ==
That's it. Now just
vserver <guestname> start.
