I've got a PowerMacG3 Blue & White.
I'd like to install Gentoo but seems impossible simply booting.
I have the same problem of this topic but mine is NOT SOLVED
With oldest minimal cd (2007ppc) the boot stucks on "attempting to mount media dev hda"
So... There is something or someone that wants me not to install Gentoo on PowerMacG3 B&W.

Could be the cd-drive. Older drives tend to develop problems reading cdr/cdrw discs. Can you try another cd or maybe cd/dvd drive? _________________ Please add [solved] to the initial post's subject line if you feel your problem is resolved. Help answer the unanswered

Else I don't know what yaboot prompt is _________________ -Complichiamo le cose per semplificarci la vita- |
