Hi There,

I am trying to install Gentoo dual boot on a MacBook Pro (17 inch). I
have refit installed, but the problem is that I cannot boot from the CD
(the option is not available in the menu). I was wondering if someone
knows how to do it.

Thanks,
Moshe

What happens if you hold the c key when you hear the chime -- keep
holding for a minute or so and it should boot from the cd.
