Gentoo help: sys-kernel/Installkernel
(wiki.gentoo.org)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can you share which step you are up to which doesn't have a non-systemd instruction?
Around 2.1
Systemd boot, OpenRC, then systemd-utils
I should probably bring up this will be my first non-systemd distro. (Maybe I should have looked at Artix first. But too late)
So if you want to use
systemd-boot
as the bootloader you have to (apparently) install thesystemd-utils
package. Or you can just use GRUB / efistub.Edit: looks like groche beat me to it 😁
It's probably been 4 years since I last had to rebuild my Gentoo, but I would be very surprised if there weren't good OpenRC instructions. I built mine with systemd and Gentoo handbook instructions always felt like 'Are you sure you don't want to use OpenRC? Ok, here are the systemd steps I guess'
