I'm pretty sure that stage 3 is all that is supported now.  If you
really want to make sure you are optimized, do a minimal install, to
where you can boot and be stable, then do a emerge -e system then a
emerge -e world.  That should get you the same thing as a stage 1 from
what I have read.  Then install whatever else you need. 

You were cheated out of almost 8MHz too.  :-(

Hope that helps.
