Mike and Neil, Thanks for the response. Since that list is quiet right now I'll try here first. It's not specifically a PPC question but more about the way an Apple boots. I have a new Mac Mini and I'm learning about OS X. One fun thing is that the Ardour folks have written ports for Jack (called jackosx) and Ardour so I can actually run Ardour under OS X with X11 support. Cool. The second cool thing that I love about Apple is their ability to boot from external drives. I've built a second copy of OS X on an external 1394 drive and can boot from that instead of the internal drive. Very cool. My question is whether I can put Gentoo on the external drive and get Apple's Open Firmware to boot Gentoo. I do not really want to put Gentoo on the internal drive, at least right now. I'd love to be able to use an external drive to boot to Gentoo instead of OS X. Can this be done? Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
