Harddisk Upgrade
The T43 has a Problem with non-ThinkPad hard disks, so if you want to upgrade it you look at the mentioned page and/or use the Example of an update on a drive with unsupported firmware. It might work.
Booting
The T43 has a special PATA-SATA-bridge, not every LiveCD will work. This is unfortunately also true for the Gentoo 2008.0 LiveCD. Use Knoppix 5.x instead, this is also nice because you can use a GUI and browse the internet during the installation. Knoppix (and later Gentoo) will see your HD-drive as /dev/sda.
Gentoo has started providing nice weekly stages, you can find those on your mirror under ~/releases/x86/autobuilds/. They work very well.
