You can use the G4 kernel to load a G3 Box. You want to use the |
| 12 |
initrd.img.gz from the cd. Then you need to pass it the 'rw |
| 13 |
init=/linuxrc cdroot' as options and make sure that the ramdisk size is |
| 14 |
at least 32000. |

That should load the Gentoo CD on a Old World Mac. Thats how I did it |
| 17 |
at least. There is a currently pending bug (46534) for adding Old World |
| 18 |
Mac boot instructions to the PPC Install Guide. |
