Problem with starting Gentoo Linux in Virtualization

Im playing a bit with Virtualization framework. I have problem starting Gentoo Linux on x86_64 machine. It shows EFI boot device selection screen, and after that black screen with just carriage (not blinking). Not sure how to check what is going on. I tried with different settings and devices. I think probably something is missing from Gentoo installer iso, that I need to add to the kernel? How would I learn what is missing?

It looks like the Gentoo install is not using the Virtio devices. It might be lacking the drivers.

The graphics device is the standard Virtio GPU device. But it doesn't seem to be used by the kernel. Similarly, text based install can't be done because the Virtio Console device isn't used.
