hi,
I can't boot the PPC LiveCD. when I type in the 'G4'
at the 'boot:' prompt, the screen freezes. I tried
'G4 -safe' also but didn't work.

my machine is G4 with GeForce2 Twinview AGP graphics
card and ~20 inch cinema display monitor.

I really appreciate for help on this. thanks!

I've had a similar problem.  When I specify "G4 video=rivafb" my display crashes, but everything loads ok and it can be rebooted with ctrl-alt-del.  However, if I use "video=ofonly", the open firmware mode, the video works fine, but it hangs when it tries to mount the /proc (the first option in the gentoo startup run levels).  Any ideas why this is?
