stage4-ppc-2006.1.tar.bz2A stage4 for the Efika. It is the 2006.1 glibc stage3 with extra packages. Fast HOWTO:
  1. Put a HDD in a USB adapter and make:
    1. /dev/sda1 for boot (ext2)
    2. /dev/sda2 for / (ext3)(minimum is about 2.5GB)
    3. /dev/sda3 for swap
  2. mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/gentoo
  3. mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
  4. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
  5. cd /mnt/gentoo; tar xvfjp /somewhere/stage4-ppc-2006.1.tar.bz2 .
  6. Edit the etc/fstab file if you changed the partition scheme
  7. umount /mnt/gentoo/boot; umount /mnt/gentoo/
  8. Remove the drive from the USB adapter and place it in the Efika
  9. At the OF prompt type: boot hd:0 kernel_efika console=ttyPSC0 panic=10 root=/dev/sda2
  10. If you have questions you can find me on Freenode's #gentoo-efika channel.
