install2hd will only recognize /dev/sda, I want to install to /dev/nvme0n1

No. The install2hd script recognizes both /dev/sda and /dev/nvme0n1. If you have /dev/nvme0n1 and you have no /dev/sda, then the sda devices are just symbolic links created by the script:

/dev/sda is a symlink to /dev/nvme0n1
/dev/sda1 is a symlink to /dev/nvme0n1p1
and so on.

You can check it by executing:

Code:

readlink /dev/sda

However, if you have both sda and nvme disks, 4MLinux will be forcing to use a real /dev/sda for the installation process.

Thanks for the reply.

Where in the install2hd script does the magic happen? I couldn't find it.

The installer appears to only find the thumb drive it's running from and labels that as /dev/sda.

So the /dev/sda is an USB drive. If so, just remove it before running the install2hd script.

So, where is the simlink magic happening; which script?

ERROR: no partitions found on /dev/sda.

You can check if the "readlink /dev/sda" gives now the output "/dev/nvme0n1"
If so, then the error "no partitions found on /dev/sda" means that there are no partitions on /dev/nvme0n1. Partitioning:

PS.
Symlinks are created by /sbin/mdev
