1 Use a standard Gentoo aarch64 (arm64 ) package. Add a pi kernel, the
2 /lib/modules directory and the /boot directory  from a raspian tarball.
3
4 I did this on a pi 3B running in 64bit mode. Once I had a bootable
5 system it was easy to modify and a fork from my first image is also
6 running on a couple of odroid 64bit systems (using the odroid boot and
7 kernel) and as an lxc image on a 64bit odroid n2.
8
9 Getting the /boot directory and uBoot config files sorted was the main
10 problem.
