Ok, I will give it a second try. 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?

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.
