[gentoo-ppc-user] Problem booting BootX 1.2.3

[Ben Ricker]

I am trying to boot the minimal live-cd and am having all kinds of 
issues, the main one being I cannot get it to boot.

I am using the G4 kernel (I have a beige PMac G3 with a G4 upgrade 
card). In the kernel arguments, I have "init=linuxrc". I also changed 
the size of the Ramdisk to "17000". I transferred the ramdisk from the 
CD to the hard drive, as well as the kernel.

BootX sees the linuxrc as it starts attampting to execute the script, 
but it bombs all over the place. It does not find the 
/etc/2.6.3-benh2-G4.autoload (No such file and directory). It cannot 
find the "livecd.gcloop" and then spouts a number of "No such files or 
directory" for "dev", "home", etc.

It ends with a kernel panic: "A ttempted to kill init!"

I also tried adding "dev=/dev/ram0" and "root=/dev/ram0" to the kernel 
arguments.

Any ideas?
