I prefer OSX's partition manager 1. Boot OSX installer, partition in three: 1) Boot strap + swap + Gentoo space (format as "free space" or something like that) 2) OS 9 space 3) OS X space 2. Once it's partitioned, you can install in any order you want. n. Install Gentoo - The Gentoo installer will run you through splitting up the free space into bootstrap/swap/disk space Good luck!
