Just booted the 2004.2 (minimal ppc64) LiveCD.
modprobe sungem; dhcpcd eth0
gave me ethernet.

About to partition the disk.
(I want/need triple boot.)
parted /dev/sda
mkpart primary 0.031 0.810
mkpart primary 0.810 2000
mkpart primary 2000 52000
mkpart primary 52000 102000
mkpart primary 102000 152627.835

This has to be wrong, but you have to start somewhere

mkswap /dev/sda2
mk2efs -j /dev/sda5
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/gentoo
cd /mnt/gentoo
wget http://dev.gentoo.org/~tgall/stage2-ppc64-20040802.tar.bz2
tar -xvjpf stage2-ppc64-20040802.tar.bz2

add -j2 to MAKEOPTS (/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf)
cp /etc/resolve.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc

chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile

So far so good.

emerge sync
(That might take a while )
