I dont think this is possible with Nitro? I'm not sure this is a SolidStart problem?

well, since solidstart uses nitro, it is a solidstart problem even if it originates from nitro

cloudflare-pages

but you probably don't need it for this preset as workers can already serve a 404 page

cloudflare-pages-static

import { defineConfig } from '@solidjs/start/config';

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    preset: 'cloudflare-pages-static',
    prerender: {
      // crawlLinks: true, // required for `cloudflare-pages` preset
      autoSubfolderIndex: false,
      routes: ['/404'],
    },
  },
});

This might be what you want which also generates a redirect rule /* /404.html 404 which for some reason is not supported yet But 404.html will be detected and will be used as 404 redirection expcept for /404 which returns 200

I would expect you to be able to put /404 and have it work because it doesn't exist. The thing is 404 page doesn't exist so to make it exist you need to put it in the list. And it should match the star route. From there you can set up your redirect rules in your provider to point to that page.
