Installing on an Xbox

I'm installing Gentoo on my Xbox, and I'm having trouble finding a LiveCD that supports ReiserFS. In the xbox livecd directory on the gentoo mirrors, there are two iso images. One of them is a gz file, and it boots but doesn't have support for ReiserFS, only ext2/3. The other image is a bz2 file, but when I burn it to a cd it won't boot. I've tried booting other distro's xbox LiveCDs but none of those support ReiserFS either. Does anyone here know of a liveCD that will boot on an Xbox that I can use to install Gentoo on a ReiserFS partition? I've tried asking for help in the xbox-linux IRC channel, but nobody could think of anything to help me.

Xebian's kinda wierd. It has the reiserfs kernel module installed on the livecd, but not reiserfsprogs. Basically, it can read and write reiserfs partitions but it can't create them. After many hours of looking I did eventually find a livecd that let me create reiserfs partitions, Resctoox.

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Gentoo on Alternative Architectures.

I suggest System Rescue Live CD..
It is based on gentoo live and has reiserfs support.
And Its small!
