You can download official weekly-updated bootable Gentoo Linux x86_64 (amd64) disk images in QEMU's .qcow2 format directly from the Gentoo AMD64 Downloads Page. Two variants are provided: a console image with a password-less root login (no network) and a cloud-init image (with network). [1, 2]

Image Details & Types

Format: QEMU QCOW2 (requires UEFI/OVMF to boot)
Architecture: x86_64 (amd64)
Variant 1 (no root pw): No network active, password-less root login on the serial/console.
Variant 2 (cloud-init): Network active, accounts locked, initialized via cloud-init. [1, 2, 3, 4]

How to Run with QEMU

You can test and boot the downloaded .qcow2 image using a command similar to this: [1]

bash

qemu-system-x86_64 \
  -m 8G -smp 4 -cpu host -accel kvm \
  -vga virtio -smbios type=0,uefi=on \
  -drive if=pflash,unit=0,readonly=on,file=/usr/share/edk2/OvmfX64/OVMF_CODE_4M.fd \
  -drive file=gentoo-image-name.qcow2,format=qcow2
