I installed from the iso in a way similiar to 1.2. I used bootx to boot |
| 34 |
into the LiveCD and then extracted a stage 1 tarball from a handy hfs |
| 35 |
partition, chrooted in, and preceeded to bootstrap etc............ |

I saw your earlier post and I couldn't remember what I pointed bootx at |
| 38 |
on the gentoo cd. If I remember right it was several folders deep. I |
| 39 |
haven't booted into macos since your previous post, so I haven't checked |
| 40 |
the CD. It would be more helpful in diagnosing the problem if you could |
| 41 |
tell us more about your kernel panic. IIRC, it seemed pretty straight |
| 42 |
forward at the time......... |

I was even able to use lynx from the livecd as I installed :) |
