   For those of you who are kind enough to care....sigh.

   On my Ultra1 I succeeded in following the directions in
   <http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-sparc.xml> to the
   letter, or so I thought.  I "emerge'd" successfully.  I compiled
   successfully.  I chroot'd successfully.  I removed the CD from its
   drive. I boot'd and I got the following.

   yadda yadda yadda....
   VFs: Mounted root(ext3 filesystem) readonly
   Mounted devfs on /dev
   FATAL: kernel too old
   Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
   Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
   Press Li-A to return to the  boot prom

   I compiled kernel-2.4.34. I chose 2.4 over 2.6 because the
   handbook hinted I should..

Given the message, you may want to try 2.6 -- 2.4 is certainly older
than 2.6.
