I am installing proxmox via USB key following the instructions at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_from_USB_Stick/. The target devices were Dell r710 and Lenevo Thinkpad
dd if=proxmox-ve_*.iso of=/dev/XYZ bs=1M
After changing BIOS to boot from USB , the USB device is detected but install halts at a black screen with 'GRUB' . This is grub stage 1. The keyboard is unresponsive. To get to GRUB stage 2 a /boot partition needed to be located before 1024 cylinders so it can be copied. All this should be done on the iso downloaded and written to the drive.
I have tried file formats ext4 and fat32 and all ISO images available at https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads/category/iso-images-pve.
My expectation was that after copying the iso to a usb key installation would be easy. Many people use these USB keys. What am i missing here?
