It hung while loading ther kernel. I suspect that the kernel on the LiveCD was not built with the "lagacy_start_address" option needed for MILO machines. I'm not sure about that though.

The only package giving me problems so far is Samba. I had been trying 2.2.8a, the one currently marked stable. I tried both with and without USE="-cups". It didn't make a difference. I still got the include conflicts. I just tried Samba 3 and got the same thing during emerge - Compiling dynconfig.c In file included from /usr/include/linux/vfs.h:4, from /usr/include/linux/fs.h:14, from /usr/include/linux/capability.h:17, from /usr/include/sys/capability.h:35, from include/includes.h:355, from dynconfig.c:21: /usr/include/asm/statfs.h:12: error: redefinition of `struct statfs' make: *** [dynconfig.o] Error 1 !!!
