Well, what I did was install Gentoo for SPARC (1.4rc4 or some such) onto my
SPARC and did the bare minimum install. I then downloaded and installed
devel
Sorcery (for simpleinit, which is now available in Sorcery 1.3) and added the
test grimoire. I then did somewhat the following:

# cast -r -c init.d
# cast basesystem

And that's where I am now. I haven't yet compiled a kernel, so I'm not sure
how well I did, but that's what I'm doing next. Then to work on an SMGL ISO
for the SPARC.
