I “kind of installed” and configured IPFire on a mini PC with four NICs. The device is still requires the USB stick for rebooting. I’m afraid the attached hard disk is not bootable. (It’s not a matter of selection of the devices in the BIOS boot menu of the mini PC).
The mini PC came with a pre-configured pfsense installation which I deleted. Plus the boot partition of the disk…
How can I ensure that IPFire is installing completely on the local hard disk and is booting from this so I can remove the USB stick.
I’m more or less failiar with gparted.
Find a screenshot of the media config of my system attached.
The usb stick that is mentioned, was this the stick with the installation media on it?
Somehow that USB Stick has got the IPFire installation on it. It has the /, /boot and /boot/efi partitions on it.
The hard drive (ATA BORY M500 128G) only has one partition on it which can be seen from the disk usage page. So the installation has not been made on the HD.
OK. During the installation, at the end of the first section the instruction comes up to reboot. It also says that the installation media must be removed at that time. Did you pull out the USB stick before you pressed the reboot button?
Whatever you did to the HD it should not make any difference. IPFire clears the old partition table and starts from scratch with the disk. That is why the message comes up that all content on that disk drive will be lost by the installation.
