Oh hello :)
Thanks for the quick reply.
When I first ran the setup, auto partitioner gave me only the PALO
partition and a huge / partition. After the installation, I couldn’t boot.
So I ran the setup again and got a 24mb Palo, a 285mb /boot and a logical volume containing / and swap. / is flagged as bootable.
After restart, I’d get a bad LIF number message.
What would be the correct partitioning schema? Is there anything I can
check at the end of the installation, before reboot, to confirm that palo config went fine?
Then I tried to NetBoot then chroot...
I’ll give the automatic net install a chance today.
Let me know how I can help. Once the machine is up, I can also provide
secure remote access if needed.

What problems did you have with the automatic partioning? If there is any bug, it should be reported and fixed.
Another problem is that the installer doesn't contain the firmware for
the
FireGL (radeon) so when I boot, if I have the keyboard connected, I get a kernel dump. I was hoping at least for unaccelerated frame buffer.
This is a known issue that is still on my TODO list for fixing. It's not trivial
as the firmware packages are part of the "non-free" archive which is not
yet
part of Debian Ports.
I was not successful with gentoo. The net installer is completely broken. Using Debian as a starting point, I got far but then got stuck in the dependency hell
dev-lang/python-3.8.8 and dev-db/sqlite-3.34.1.
No matter what I did, I couldn't fix this.
For Gentoo, you would have to ask the Gentoo mailing lists or on IRC as
most
people here probably have little to no experience with Gentoo.
