Gentoo already supplied a complete s390 distro in 2007. I fixed it up a bit and documented a boot-strap technique using Red Hat images. You can find the results in http://www.binro.org/gentoo-2008.6-s390x-unofficial.tar.bz2. It's a long time since I played with this though, so good luck! Incidentally I did it on Hercules but I guess it's much the same with real iron, you just have to burn a CD?
