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
