hangs during boot

[Nigelh]

First time attempt to install gentoo.
For final installation on bare metal for mbr on gpt with a partition on the hdd. Has grub_bios partition
downloaded "install-amd64-minimal-20240128T165521Z.iso"
burnt to usb using dd (as I have done successfully many times with other distros)
selected usb from boot up options (not uefi)
booted usb but hangs during boot process with final two lines.
looking for the cdrom
attempting to mount media /dev/sr0

added scandelay=10 and slowusb to kernel cmd line but made no difference
