Opción por defecto: Arrancer el CD de instalación con yaboot
En máquinas NewWorld, coloque el CD de instalación en el CD-ROM y reinicie el sistema. Cuando el sistema emita el pitido de arranque, simplemente mantenga pulsada la tecla hasta que arranque el CD.

Una vez haya arrancado el CD de isntalación, un símbolo de espera de órdenes se mostrará en la parte baja de la pantalla.

Ofrecemos un núcleo genérico: ppc32. Este núcleo se construye con soporte para múltiples CPUs, pero también arrancará en máquinas monoprocesador.

Es posible ajustar algunas opciones del núcleo utilizando este símbolo de espera de órdenes. La siguiente tabla muestra algunas de las opciones de arranque disponibles, se puede añadir:

Para utilizar las opciones de arriba, en el símbolo de espera de órdenes de inicio, teclee  seguido de la opción deseada. En el ejemplo de abajo, forzaremos al núcleo a que utilice un framebuffer de firmware abierto en ugar del controlador específico del dispositivo.

Si no se necesita ninguna opción, simplmente teclee ppc32 en este símbolo de espera de órdenes y un entorno completo de Gentoo Linux se cargará desde el CD.

Alternative: Booting the installation CD on a Pegasos system
On the Pegasos simply insert the CD and at the SmartFirmware boot-prompt type.

This will open a small bootmenu that allows users to choose between several preconfigured video configs. Any special boot options can append be appended to the command-line just like with Yaboot above. For example:

The default kernel options (in case something goes wrong) are preconfigured with.

Alternative: Booting the installation CD with BootX
With an OldWorld Mac the bootable portion of the livecd can't be used. The most simple solution is to use MacOS 9 or earlier to bootstrap into a Linux environment with a tool called BootX.

First, download BootX and unpack the archive. Copy the the BootX Extension from the unpacked archive into Extensions Folder and the BootX App Control Panel into Control Panels, both of which are located in the MacOS System Folder. Next, create a folder called "Linux Kernels" in the System folder and copy the ppc32 kernel from the CD to this folder. Finally, copy ppc32.igz from the Installation CD boot folder into the MacOS System Folder.

To prepare BootX, start the BootX App Control Panel. First select the Options dialog and check Use Specified RAM Disk and select ppc32.igz from the System Folder. Continue back to the initial screen and ensure that the ramdisk size is at least 32000. Finally, set the kernel arguments as shown below:

BootX kernel arguments

Check once more to make sure the settings are correct and then save the configuration. This saves typing just in case it doesn't boot or something is missing. Press the Linux button at the top of the window. If everything goes correctly, it should boot into the Installation CD.

Setting the keyboard map
After boot, a root ("#") prompt appears on the current console. It is possible to switch to other consoles by pressing, and. Get back to the first one by pressing. Due to the keyboard layout, it may be necessary to press on Apple machines.

When installing Gentoo on a system with a non-US keyboard, use loadkeys to load the keymap for the keyboard. To list the available keymaps, execute.

Now load the keymap of choice:
