I have attempted the install more than twice on my Ultra5.  When following
the instructions here:

        http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-sparc-install.xml

Everything goes fine till I reach step 4.7

        # scripts/bootstrap.sh

First off, following the directions, I am currently in the root
of the filesystem, so the path should be
"/usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh".  So, I run that
script and get the following output:

(none) / # /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh

Now, if I simply skip the bootstap and go to the next step, which is:

        # export CONFIG_PROTECT=""
        # emerge system

I get the same type of error as above.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
