Proxmox ZFS Raid1 on Terramaster F4-424 Max

[Pete5]

Hi everybody,
I'm new to proxmox and try to install it on my TM F4-424 Max.
I installed 2 M.2 NVMe SSDs and want to use them as a Raid1 partition for Proxmox. Therefore i configured a ZFS Raid1 during the installation process, but proxmox can't boot. To check the boot order in the bios I called up the entry "UEFI NVME Drive BBS Priorities" , there i have the choice between 2 entries called "Linux Boot Manager", neither works. When I call up the boot menu upon boot with F12 i can select one of them and the system starts.

To me, it looks like proxmox installed itself correctly on both SSDs, but the F4-424 doesn't recognize the Raid1 it recognize 2 seperate SSDs only.

Does anybody have an idea to get this running?

Regards Pete

Did you remove the USB installer on the inside of the machine and change the boot order after installation?

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I know these guides, but according the info I found it is not necessary anymore to remove the usb drive. It should be enough to disable "TOS Boot First" in the bios.
For example: https://forum.terra-master.com/en/viewtopic.php?t=6624&start=10

However, I'll give it a try.

Well something is going wrong in the boot order. BTW I suspect it is fine if you boot off of only one of the mirrored drives. Proxmox will recognize it as a mirror after boot

Indeed, something is wrong with the boot process but I don't have an idea what. I configured my intended setup as a virtual machine, there it works as expected.
Here is a guide which shows the same setup on a F4-424 Pro.
