Hi,
I try to automate an installation but I just cannot t make the automated installer find and use my answer.toml without interaction.

I'm using a ventoy-stick to boot (normal mode) the installer ISO proxmox-ve_9.2-1.iso.
There's an additional partition (fat32) on the stick labeled 'proxmox-ais' as it is mentioned in the doc containing my "answer.toml".
This is never found although the parition seems to be named correctly (visible in /dev/disk/by-label)

Hower by just entering this command it run without any issues:
Bash:
proxmox-fetch-answer partition proxmox-ais >/run/automatic-installer-answers
exit

I also tried to supply a second USB drive with the answer file (for completeness: I renamed the partition on the Ventoy-Stick during this test).

Did I miss anything?
 
Hi,

where exactly does it fail in the installation process?
Can you provide the full output of such a failed installation? (Screenshot or picture of the screen of course would be enough)

Did you run the command by yourself after it failed, in the installation environment?
 
Directly after the start. It's just bare metal, so I could only supply a photo but anyway.

I could "fix it" by preparing an updated image using the provided tools:
Bash:
proxmox-auto-install-assistant prepare-iso ./proxmox-ve_9.2-1.iso --fetch-from partition --partition-label proxmox-ais

But as the downloadable image also has the option to use the automated installer and the documentation states that the "default label" is proxmox-ais I was assuming it just works out of the box with the standard-image
