Sorry but I have an objection to make:

Even if you succeed on installing Libreboot with Gentoo, or even if you
do buy one of Minifree's Libreboot to use with your copy of Gentoo, what
makes you think that Gentoo is, by this situation eligible as "free"?

I and almost all free software activists have told you all various times
here and also in IRC (both in #trisquel, #fsf, #gnu, #libreplanet, and
so on and on):

The fact that *you* are able to use a non-free system distribution only
with free software doesn't qualify it as free. You can't, as a free
software activist, recommend it to the general public, because if you do
so, you're not applying the free software
criteria[applying-fs-criteria], and are probably, making ruinous
compromises[avoiding-ruinous-compromises].

You can recommend these non-free system distributions and use then if,
and only if, for the purpose of developing a complete or partial
substitute[good-thing-use-nonfree-program].
