    You'll love it. And don't get me wrong, even the OldWorld-unfriendly CDs
    do the trick, you just need to download BootX from penguinppc.org
    (http://penguinppc.org/projects/bootx/) and follow some extra
    instructions: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1657215#1657215

    Everything else is covered in the Gentoo PPC handbook, located at
    http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-ppc.xml (add ?full=1 to
    that URI if you want the entire handbook in a single HTML page).
