Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] working Old World Linux Mac

I set BootX to the settings I got from Pieter Van den Abeele, but was 
still having some problems. I tried pointing to the livecd.img file on 
the CD, but got complainst during boot of trying to go beyond the 
system. So I copied the contents of the CD onto a directory in the 
System folder of the same name, pointed it there, changed my ramdisk 
size to 24000, which some reported as having helped, and things look 
good. Got lots of  things loading, but now I'm stuck at a prompt:

LiveCD.GentooPPC login:

hitting enter only gets the same, putting in just anything then prompts 
me for a password, which ends up being wrong. What should I be putting 
in here?
