Just deleted my Gentoo installation. ;-) But the Gentoo boot disc has a nice mac-fdisk. So you can get rid of the dozens of tiny slices that Apple disk utility creates on the disk (for booting OS 9 and such things). Can someone mail me the HFS bootloader mentioned here? http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ppc/2008-October/003256.html It's not on the sources from cd. And cvsup-without-gui cannot be installed on PPC. (why that?) I first want to try if the basic things work, before I do the long Xorg compile. Jochen
