Let me rephrase that. That's what I did originally, but after messing up my
system a few times (and having to restart said times), I now do this:

(I had these on my website[0], but then my ISP shut down ports 80 and 443.
:()

1. Install from some other distory (Gentoo 1.4rc4 SPARC in this case)
2. Get networking working (with portmap)
3. # mkdir -p /opt/smgl/var/spool/sorcery
4. # mount <server>/var/spool/sorcery /opt/smgl/var/spool/sorcery
5. # for i in `ls /|grep -v dev|grep -v proc|grep -v var|grep -v opt`; do cp
-vuaRp /$i /opt/smgl; done
6. # mkdir /opt/smgl/proc
7. # mount -o bind /proc /opt/smgl/proc
8. # chroot /opt/smgl bin/bash
9. Install lockexec
10. Install Sorcery
11. # cast -r -c init.d
12. # cast -r -c basesystem
13. # cast --fix
14. # cast -r -c silo linux

That's as well as I could remember the steps when I wrote them down. ;)
