Got a spare 250GB harddisk.

Trying to repartition the old disk to add OSX.

Step 1:
Boot Gentoo LiveCD

Step 2:
Partition and format new (backup) disk.

Step 3:
Mount old root (->/old) and backup (-> backup).

Step 4:
Copy everything over:
cd /old; cp -ax * /backup

Step 5:
Repartition old disk.

Step 6:
Reboot (from LiveCD).

Step 7:
Format old disk.

Step 8:
Mount new root (->/new) and backup (-> backup).

Step 9:
Copy everything over:
cd /backup; cp -ax * /new

Step 12:
Bind devfs to new system.
mount -o bind /dev /new/dev

Step 11:
Chroot into the system
chroot /new

Step 12:
Mount procfs
mount -t proc none /proc

Step 13:
Do a quick check.

Step 12:
Rerun yaboot.
(Still chrooted)
ybin -v

Step 13:
Reboot (from disk) and hope for the best.

Looks like it worked
