I am about to install on an ultra 30, 512megs ram with an elite 3d framebuffer. Any hard lessons learned that anyone cares to share? Any suggestions?

Read the documentation thoroughly, but don't follow it word for word. My installation was relatively painless, and I still consider myself somewhat of a linux newb.

read both the x86 and sparc installation guides, and use them side by side.

i got most of my answers where I got stuck on irc (irc.freenode.com, #gentoo-sparc). very helpful people, and extremely patient.

once you get the stage downloaded and untar'd...its not too bad.
