I ordered also one RPI4 few days ago, waiting for it to arrive. From my
experience with RPI2 you need to take care of the boot loader first. It is
not a simple process, but not sure how it looks like in RPI4 - I assume the
same as mentioned here:

To test the RPI I used TFTP boot and old 256MB sd card where I put the
bootloader for network boot. It was much easier to compile and test any
software on the server.

The boot partition must be vfat and hold the firmware.
