[Fwd: Install problems]

Hi,

I'm soon to be a new Gentoo user, but I can't get past the 
installation.  My query to the forum was no good, and the developers at 
Gentoo.org have palmed me off and said that the mailing lists might help 
me out.  Please, you're my last chance.

I give the parameter at boot to:

G5-devfs docache

So I should have the program cached when I get to the 'Stages' part of 
the installation.  However, every time I attempt to change CDs I cannot 
unmount the cdrom and switch to Stage 3, or 2, or 1.

Please help me.  I've spent a week trying to get this up and running and 
I really can't tell what I'm doing wrong.  After I give the command:

eject

to get the CD out, then bash goes crazy, says everything is wrong 
(including the simple command: ls /dev/) and I can't even logout, I have 
to hold down the power button, boot back to OS X, eject the CD and then 
reinsert the Live CD if I want to try again.  Someone must have 
experienced this before, but I can't find a support query on it anywhere.

Jon
