The ISO image has to be created as a "hybrid" image for this to work.
I'm pretty sure the Gentoo minimal image is - I've been dd'ing the iso's for
quite a while now, and it's always been a simple case of download, verify, dd.
If you burn the minimal install CD ISO image to CD it will work, but I think it will not work if one tries to put it on a USB stick. The structure is different for
USB.
Besides, running `fdisk -l /path/to/image.iso` does return a partition list
(of one NTFS/Hidden partition) for me, using a standard unmodified minimal
iso.
fdisk -l install-amd64-minimal-20140828.iso

It's certainly worth noting, but in this case, OP is using a minimal image
(install-amd64-minimal-20140828.iso).
