Hi all, |
| 2 |

I have inherited an old Apple iMac G3 500MHz running OSX 10.2 |
| 4 |
(blue/grey if that is relevant - don't laugh, I've seen the colour |
| 5 |
referenced loads in the forums !!), and want to install Gentoo on it. |
| 6 |
I have burned off the ppc version of the installation CD, but cannot |
| 7 |
get it to boot from CD. |

After trawling the web for ideas, I have tried holding the following |
| 10 |
key combinations down during the boot sequence with no success: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
1) C |
| 13 |
2) Alt |
| 14 |
3) CTRL-C (this gives me a boot prompt eventually for the OSX shell) |
| 15 |
4) command-opt-shift-del (I haven't even got these keys on the |
| 16 |
keyboard, so I tried every feasible combination of control, apple and |
| 17 |
alt keys with shift and delete - nothing worked). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Any other ideas?? The mac is next to useless to me at the moment. |
