I'm attempting to install Proxmox for testing on an old Dell workstation. I've got a GT 620 and a GT 1030 installed. The installer threw this error with both cards installed as described in this thread:

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-installation-nvidiafb-unknown-nv_arch.64400/

I tried adding
Code:
nomodeset vga=normal
to the config by pressing e but regardless of where I put it I get an error saying the command "nomodeset" could not be found.

How can I get this working? Promox looks promising if I can test it properly. ;)
