Will the gentoo installer configure my such and such hardware for me?

Gentoo Linux Documentation -- Gentoo Linux Installer Frequen...
No. The installer will only do what is covered in the install guide. The only thing that may be configured for you is xorg. When the LiveCD boots into X, a xorg.conf is automatically generated. If you choose xorg-x11 (or anything that depends on it) as an extra package to install, the /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the LiveCD will be automatically copied into your new install.

Why won't the incremental installer work?

Nav1
This typically happens if you install Notes/Domino optional components inconsistently. E.g., you installed Notes 4.61 with Advanced Services, but then you didn't with 4.62. When you try to install 4.63, it detects some old files from the 4.61 install that are not at the 4.62 level (failing a checksum). You can see which files these are by looking at the UPGRADE.LOG file in the Notes directory.

The current release of the installer supports x86 and amd64. There are plans to support sparc, hppa, and ppc, and other arches in the future. If you are using true hardware RAID, the installer will see the array as a normal drive (because the kernel sees it this way too).
