Efika is here!
And it boots. Yay once more!

I tried booting from an usb stick, but so far those efforts have not been succesful. Netboot works just fine though. I've ordered a new small psu, since the one I'm currently using is both far too large to fit in the enclosure I intend to use (a cdrom drive enclosure from which the cdrom mechanism has been evicted) and it is just too damn noisy. I've also ordered a 2.5" HD for it.

I'm currently trying to make sense of the gnap scripts and catalyst. gnap as is, is not ready for ppc as it lists some dependancies that don't make sense for ppc (syslinux for example).

I'll need to look into the embedded stage3 for ppc too to see if I can use that to get started. That stage file is not build with a hardened toolchain though, which I would like for the final gnap core. The gentoo-hardened team has been very busy with getting glibc-2.4 and gcc-4.1 ready for hardened. uclibc should be ready too, so I'll give that a go soon. Things are looking good there.
