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.
