[/b]Succesfully installed Gentoo on Imac G5.Just one problem remainig
When I boot I get a black screen,when I boot with the parameter "video=ofonly" I get a normal,useable screen.
Now the question:how do I get that video=ofonly permanently in my startup?

You can add it to your yaboot.conf by adding a line as follows to the kernel image section:
Code:

     append="video=ofonly"


Or, in your kernel, you could only compile in the OpenFirmware framebuffer, turning off the others. Either will force the usage of the OpenFirmware framebuffer on boot.
