[gentoo-ppc-user] mklinux and nubus PPC install?

[Lincoln Rutledge]

Howdy,

I have an ISO image, and have been playing with getting Gentoo to work
on a nubus Performa PPC Mac.  Actually I've gotten as far as being able
to boot into the Yellowdog installer, and I actually have Debian
installed and running.  I would like to try to get Gentoo going though.

I searched the list archives, but found nothing there or at
http://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net/ on getting Gentoo going.

My machine has a 100MHz PPC 603e chip with 32MB RAM and 1.2GB IDE disk. 
1MB onboard video, model Performa 6620CD.

I understand it's generally agreed to be the biggest turd Apple ever
made, basically an M68k board with a PPC shoehorned on.  It's way faster
than my Quadra though :)

I understand that probably all I need is a
kernel-and-installer-on-ramdisk image to feed to the MkLinux booter.  I
already have a good 2.4.27 kernel that works great.

Any thoughts appreciated,

Thanks,

Lincoln
