L.S., dear Team, members, users, Devini, Gods

jump to *The Thing *for a shorter version.

Right now i am reinstalling a server over IPMI
the colors are drama - or lovely Warhola !

At the near end of all pleasure
it asked me to enter the drive/part
to give the grub a home...
i was in doubt, had to be sure.
and Jumped back into 'schijfbeheer'
and found my drive..

Unfortunately grub didn´t like my entry
after i followed the enforced path forward
although it was correct it failed to install.

KEY: there is something missing in the list
of media where grub wants to install.
a decent no-doubt hint which drive has
been used for system install.
but! pop there it shows the correct drive
but fails nevertheless

I am now forced (by ignorance or lack of knowledge)
to full restart install and follow steps until grub is with me.

Amen.
*
The Thing:*
Can the installer be fixed - in such way
that it will know and share the used media
so, there is no doubt on which to install grub..
i could of course unlink all other media..
but installing the system at distance
gives a very remote chance of doing so

- ident boot media
- give it to grub as option
- other media as secondaries
  -> or opt to ignore them - no writes
- OH! if the installer might not have it yet
 fetching firmware from an USB
* so certain devices will work after installations
  prio
 1 - network
 1 - RAID controller
 2 - GPU

plus : tailscale is a free VPN service
   it makes it possible to login over secure line *
   is it possible to include tailscale into package service ?
