I just finished installing Gentoo on a Blue&White, so I can offer some advice. Don't trouble yourself at first with the hardware (which bus the HD is plugged in to, jumpers, etc.) Just install Gentoo to /dev/hdc. Now once you boot into your kernel, more than likely the devices will be ordered /dev/hda - hard drive /dev/hde - CD. So then you have to chroot in again and manually edit yaboot.conf on the bootstrap partition to point to /dev/hda. Also, don't forget to update your /etc/fstab to reflect the fact that the hard drive is now /dev/hda. Hope that helps! -- Nathan Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Howdy all! I'm new to ppc but not new to Gentoo. I just picked up an old G3 Blue and White for $20 to play around with, and I'm just starting to install Gentoo. I'm noticing that my hard drive seems to be showing up as hdc and the cdrom as hda in the install cd environment. Is this normal/ok? I can't think of any reason that it wouldn't be OK, but it does seem strange to me. Perhaps the drives are plugged into the mobo backwards? I haven't opened the box yet... -- Randy Barlow http://www.electronsweatshop.com "Oh me of little faith..." -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list
