Hi all,

I want to install Gentoo on my PowerBook 12". Booting from the 1.4_rc4-CD works fine, but it didn't find the harddisk. /dev/hda is the cdrom. Booting with 'live hda=1,1,1' as suggested by the FAQ didn't help.

Has someone an idea what I have to do to make it working?

I planned to install Gentoo on my 600mhz 14" ibook 20gig-hd cd r/w combo.
It suprised me too that there was no /dev/hda.

I booted from a GentooPPC_1.4_rc6 cd-rom. And this way it is imposible to run mac-fdisk /dev/hda.

But as a read the FAQ something became clear. At the boot prompt type:

live hda=1,1,1


This did the trick for me :)
