    how to convert to legacy grub

    its not a cmos/bios issue. (im able to boot into proxmox the normal way just fine). rather, i cant get access to a partition that has a boot record in it. kinda like needing to load grub into /dev/sda1 vs /dev/sda. having lvm add to root partition into the mix was just too much for my skull...

    install proxmox ve 6.3 on debian (no lvm)

    couple observations. 1. the proxmox manual makes several references to being able to load proxmox on debian. but provides no details. i treated the situtation as a mere apt install exercise. i also added all the tools for a gui environemt with installs of task-dnome-desktop, samba, gparted. this...

(i want to skip lvm and even uefi). please dont flame that i should just use the dvd/usb method. lvm/ uefi is not friendly to the environment that i have). it seems to work except i can NOT get the CDs listed as an item...
