installation when hard disk is not the first on the list

[pierrickmolera]

In my case when I have only one hard disk and its path is /dev/nvme0n1
it's considered as the second disk on the list because my USB is the first one instead.

At Seapath installation startup I got firmware issue loading because files was not copied.

Is there a solution without to change the configuration each time to detect it by putting USB key as second device on the list and /dev/nvme0n1 on the top ?

Can you try with
disklist="nvme0n1 "
in the usercustomization/class/USERCUSTOMIZATION.var file?

thanks Florent
in my case, I've added second disk "sda" and that resolved the issue,
and yes by giving exactly the name of the disk that would work
Just wondering if in the case there is only one disk, nvme0n1 that could be detected as the default disk where we can have an automatic Seapath installation

FAI reads the disks in the order they appear in /proc/partitions, and is supposed to ignore the flashdisk used to boot
(https://github.com/faiproject/fai/blob/213e56e7bea7fadbfcfecf4feb7ce1d505b1dc28/lib/fai-disk-info#L14)

I've never had FAI trying to install the system on the usb disk used to boot.
