I want to install OS X (Tiger with XPostFacto), OS 9.2.2 and Gentoo on
my Powerbook G3 (Lombard). Now, I know I need an Apple Bootstrap
partition, and I'm going to make an HFS+ for OS X, another HFS+ for OS
9, a partition for Gentoo root, and a swap partition.
In which order should I install these three OSes? This sounds too
complicated. I must be mistaken. Anyone care to shed some light onto
this, because this is what I had in mind:
1. Boot Gentoo CD on my blank hard drive. Create an Apple bootstrap
partition.
2. Boot OS 9 CD. Install it.
3. Use XPostFacto to install Tiger.
4. Install Gentoo.
You need to make the partitions with an Apple disk. I prefer OSX's
partition manager
1. Boot OSX installer, partition in three:
1) Boot strap + swap + Gentoo space (format as "free space" or
something like that)
2) OS 9 space
3) OS X space
2. Once it's partitioned, you can install in any order you want.
n. Install Gentoo - The Gentoo installer will run you through splitting
up the free space into bootstrap/swap/disk space
Good luck!
