Dear,
to run rootstrap I usually use the following:

interface=eth0
tap0
host=10.0.1.100
uml=10.0.1.101
netmask=255.255.255.0 

gateway=10.0.1.11 
nameserver=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

from my LAN connection to allow uml instance to connect to the LAN itself
and to internet

I don't need a gateway re-definition

Can you try with your network data?

found these warning, but they don't prevent you to tun rootstrap
successfully
