PPC-team (and JoseJX), mind taking a look at this one?
Comment 2 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-18 07:40:25 UTC 
It's part of the 2005.1 documentation update in bug #99073.
Comment 3 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-01 06:12:52 UTC 
JoseJX: if the fix is currently also needed for the network-based installation
instructions you should add those already.
Comment 4 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-03 19:20:48 UTC 
It's actually been fixed for PPC and is no longer absolutely required (unless
you're using pegasos), but it's in all of the documentation drafts now.
