Like ARM, most SH devices don't have a CDROM drive, so thats why there's no ISO. Like I told you, the way to install onto those kind of machines is either tftpbooting or putting the disk into another machine and configure it from there. I've installed all my ARM and SH machines using the latter. The reason for not having a manual is like ARM, there are specific boards which require different configurations, kernels, bootloaders, etc. Same reason as why there's no ISO, some boards couldn't even boot from the CDROM, and you'll need a kernel for each board, etc... I've always thought that whoever has a SH board, m68k, or access to a s390 machine, and wants to use Gentoo, is smart enough to do it by itself.
