Installation
(Write the necessary steps to get Gentoo onto this system. Try to document any special step that each user will need to reproduce on their system. Includes getting special drivers or firmware from a manufacturer website, etc.)
Firmware
As noted in the table above, the only part of this system that requires special firmware is the wireless network card. As with most all firmware, this can be obtained by getting the defacto Linux firmware package:
root #emerge --ask category/packageKernel
(Show what options are necessary in the kernel in order to get all device components functional for this hardware platform.)

Emerge
(Optional section. If the platform requires any user space packages or kernel patches, mention them here).
root #emerge --ask category/packageConfiguration
This notebook is too old to be EFI (UEFI) capable, so be sure to use an MBR partition scheme.
