where to install the bootloader on a powerbook g4
My friend installed Gentoo onto his Mac notebook, specifically the PowerBook G4. However, the boot loader won't work because Apple has a strange partitioning system. I was wondering where to install the boot loader so he could dual boot OS X and Gentoo, and with what settings. Thanks.

If you follow the Gentoo handbook for ppc, this is discussed and completely detailed.
