You need to make the partitions with an Apple disk. I prefer OSX's |
| 18 |
partition manager |

1. Boot OSX installer, partition in three: |
| 21 |
1) Boot strap + swap + Gentoo space (format as "free space" or |
| 22 |
something like that) |
| 23 |
2) OS 9 space |
| 24 |
3) OS X space |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
2. Once it's partitioned, you can install in any order you want. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
n. Install Gentoo - The Gentoo installer will run you through splitting |
| 29 |
up the free space into bootstrap/swap/disk space |

Good luck! |
