I wasn't able to get it to work from the gentoo wiki instructions. What i'm trying to do is boot it and log into it through SSH, because i don't have an hdmi cable or keyboard. Once i have SSH, i can install properly on a USB. This is the guide i followed: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Orange_Pi_PC/Quick_Start

I also followed various builds from their megaupload, including the gentoo one. I wasn't able to see the device appear on my network as they said i should have gotten.

cryptopsy1,

As that's a quick install guide, many steps are omitted.

Most importantly,
The network will not start automatically, you need to add it to the default runlevel.
ssh is not in the default runlevel ...
ssh won't let you log in as root. You need to edit the sshd_config
You won't know the root password, put a valid hash in /etc/shadow.
