Hi,

I am in a pickle. My VPS provider use SolusVM so there is no custom ISO. I tried to boot into netboot via IPXE but netboot template by default goes to GUI installer which throw xinit errors. At netboot discord they said if I can provide the flag required they will add it to default list.

This is their default:
https://github.com/netbootxyz/netbo...netbootxyz/templates/menu/proxmox.ipxe.j2#L91

Code:
vga=791 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr ramdisk_size=16777216 rw quiet

What would be the correct flag for text-based installer?
 
To start the text based installer, use the proxtui flag.
