Just a quick update, and hopefully there's a Gentoo advocate/developer
reading this...

Trying the 20181120 minimal installation CD fails due to the firmware
for the Qlogic ISP1020 (1040.bin) SCSI adapter not being present, either
as built-in to the kernel or as a standalone file.  No firmware means no
hard disks detected means "full stop" -- can't get there from here.
