Morning all,
I've just bought an rpi 400, which is a nice little machine, and I'm wondering
whether anyone has managed to install Gentoo on one. I've tried a couple of
bootable images for other models, but they can't boot. I get some debug output
but it means nothing to me.
According to this site, the 400's boot process differs from other models':

Any ideas?

Peter.

As long as you boot into any system, you will be able to install gentoo.
For rpi4 I used alpine linux (mainly because it already had write-up
on wiki for headless boot with sshd enabled) and from there it was
fairly regular gentoo install (except for compiling toolchain on desktop
via crossdev to speed it up).
I even left bootloader that came in alpine tarball, just overwrote it
with gentoo kernel, initframs and changed cmdline config.
Give alpine a go as a boot medium, if that doesn't work you can always
use official raspbian instead, which is guaranteed to boot on Pi400.
Regards,
Teru

You can do that with Raspbian too. Mount the boot partition of the SD
card on your computer and create a file called ssh. Then Raspbian will
boot with SSH enabled.

There is always this option:
