Subject: Possible addition to the PPC FAQ 

Hi,

I have a problem (and a solution) for an issue during the install on an iBook.
Its an extension of the existing Powerbook HD issue ...

Q : When I try and install Gentoo on my iBook my internal hard drive does not
show up. What should I do? 

A : Pass hda=16383,16,64 to the kernel at boot time. That should solve your
problems. You can do this at yaboot prompt by typing boot hda=16383,16,64.

Hope this is useful to others!

Mark H.

exactly which ibook do you have? rev 1 or 2? do you know which drive you have
installed?
