installer failure: "not a block device"

Description

Please see https://forums.truenas.com/t/installing-truenas-scale-can-not-find-sda3-not-a-block-device/3246/12

and also https://www.reddit.com/r/truenas/comments/1794z3n/error_installing_scale_lsblk_cant_find_sda3_or/?rdt=47144

 

I attempted to instal Tn Scale (atest Dragonfish) by downloading the .iso and either mounting it in linux or creating a bootable USB stick. In either case, using iLO to install on an HP Proliant Microserver Gen8 caused the lsblk (I think it was lsblk) failure “lsblk can’t find SDA3 or SDAP3: not a block device”

 

I checked the target drive using lsblk and using parted and fdisk -l and smartctl:- all OK.

Thanks for your ticket and detailed explanation (including screenshots). We have rewritten the entire installer in ElectricEel (next major version) and we have no plans (at this time) for pushing another Dragonfish release. We believe this area has been improved so we’re going to close this ticket for now. You may try an ElectricEel nightly image but that isn’t considered stable at this time. Anyways, we’re going to close this one for now hoping it has been fixed in next major release. If you do manage to try a nightly image and the issue still persists, please open a fresh ticket.

Yesterday I had further problems with a newly downloaded ISO of Scale and I hope the screenshots in my update might assist you:
