Hi, |
70 |
i'm also knew to gentoo, but i use a G3/233/320Mo/80Go and here is how i boot from the liveCD : |
71 |
|
72 |
in the BootX control panel : |
73 |
i select the kernel vmlinux |
74 |
i select in 'options' the ramdisk initrd.img.gz |
75 |
i do not use 'No Video Drivers' (but it may work, i've never tried...) |
76 |
ramdisk size : 24000 |
77 |
kernel arguments : 'root=/dev/ram init=/linuxrc' |
78 |
|
79 |
it works fine on my mac but i remember struggling with these f@!#? kernel arguments :-) (same problem as you the boot process stopped). |
80 |
i hope it will help and good luck |
81 |
|
