Get a copy of the Gentoo LiveGUI USB:

https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/

Write the ISO file to a USB thumb drive:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Media#Writing_a_bootable_USB

Basically, the command is:

dd if=livegui.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4096 status=progress && sync

You just need to know what drive (/dev/sdX) is the USB.

After booting the LiveGUI, your Xeon will work.
