I think there are now better resources than what I wrote a year ago, but my http://valla.uchicago.edu/ppc/PBG412.html is at least one answer. I should post a new kernel, though -- the one there breaks with new firmware, I think. (The problem is that the G4's ATA-100 chip is not supported in the Woody kernel, so you have to compile a kernel that does support it.) O.
