Thank you everybody for your help.

My sparc64 finally booted. I used genkernel with the livecd cdrom's 
kernel 2617 /proc/config.gz. The last piece of the puzzle was getting 
fstab correct. Here is proof.

-----------snip of uname -a -----------------------
kjones-sun2 / # uname -a
Linux kjones-sun2 2.6.20-gentoo-r5 #3 SMP Thu May 17 13:58:22 Local time 
zone must be set--see zic sparc64 sun4u GNU/Linux
kjones-sun2 / #
-------------end snip--------------

I am not sure whether I learned anything specific to gentoo or to 
sparc64.  I did learn that creating good open source documentation is 
difficult and that finding one's way through unfamiliar documentation is 
daunting.

Thanks, again.
