+If you have an OldWorld Mac the bootable portion of the livecd can't be used.
+The most simple solution is to use MacOS to bootstrap into a Linux environment
+with a tool called BootX.  Boot floppies are being prepared for Macs without
+MacOS, but they are not available at this time.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+First, download <uri link="http://penguinppc.org/projects/bootx/">BootX</uri>
+and unpack the archive.  Copy the the <c>BootX Extension</c> from the unpacked
+archive into <c>Extensions Folder</c> and the BootX App Control Panel into
+<c>Control Panels</c>, both of which are located in your MacOS System Folder.
+Next, create a folder called "Linux Kernels" in your System folder and copy the
+<c>G3G4</c> kernel from the CD to this folder.  Finally, copy <c>G3G4.igz</c> 
+from the Installation CD <path>boot</path> folder into the MacOS 
+<c>System Folder</c>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To prepare BootX, start the BootX App Control Panel.  First select the Options
+dialog and check <c>Use Specified RAM Disk</c> and select <c>G3G4.igz</c> from
+your System Folder.  Continue back to the initial screen and ensure that the
+ramdisk size is at least <c>32000</c>.  Finally, set the kernel arguments as
+shown below:
+</p>
+
+<pre caption="BootX kernel arguments">
+cdroot root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc loop=livecd.squashfs looptype=squashfs console=tty0 nodevfs udev
+</pre>
+
+<note>
+The kernel parameters in the yaboot section above are also applicable here.
+</note>
+
+<p>
+Check once more to make sure the settings are correct and then save the 
+configuration.  This saves typing just in case it doesn't boot or something is
+missing.  Press the Linux button at the top of the window to boot into the 
+Installation CD and continue with <uri link="#booted">And When 
+You're Booted...</uri>
