You can burn the image (~1,643MiB compressed) to a microSD card (>=16GB) (either from the command line, or using a GUI tool like Etcher), then boot your RPi4B (RPi3B/B+ also supported) from it directly (the root partition will be automatically resized to fill the card on first boot). Here's a screenshot of the 64-bit image running on a dual-display RPi4 B (click to show a higher resolution view): If you have an RPi4, and would like to try running under it under a 64-bit (kernel+userland) OS (whether for comparative benchmarking, access to aarch64-only packages, or just out of curiosity), you might like to check out my recently released gentoo-on-rpi-64bit bootable image (downloadable from GitHub, here). ![]() ![]() #GENTOO VIRTUALBOX NO BOOTABLE MEDIUM FOUND UPDATE#Update 27 November 2019: a new 1.5.2 release of the image is available please see this post for more details.
