I have a bit of a unique situation. I have an IBM x3650 m2 server. The onboard USB has a fault so I cant use my keyboard or mouse. I have installed a usb card into the machine which works when an OS is booted. I need to reinstall proxmox on this machine. I am booting from a DVD. Unfortunately the usb card is not recognised in the boot menu so I cant make a selection. Is there any way I can modify the ISO so that it automatically boots in the install so that drivers are loaded for my usb card and I can continue?
Automatically boot install ISO without user prompt

You can do it the "hard" way. Boot another system from DVD, that boots automatically. I can recommend "systemrescuecd", which I'm almost certain boots automatically after 30 seconds. When it's loaded, install Debian 11 (Bullseye) on your machine using "debootstrap". Then, boot the installed Debian and perform the Proxmox installation steps for installing on top of Debian.
