I am installing a Fedora CoreOS v39.2024030 on a bare metal system (PowerEdge server) through a iDRac interface.
It's a two-step process:
1. Here it's needed to boot the system into a LiveISO (virtual cd-rom) and perform the install step:
References: Official Documentation
coreos-installer install /dev/sda --ignition-url http://filepath.ign
Once file system is copied, it reboots to perform the installation.
2. Reboot and perform automated installation based on ignition file instructions.
My issue is that when I first boot the system with liveCD, it shows my two disks (block storage names) **sda and sdb**, but when the system reboots for the second phase, those disk names change to **sdb and sdc**.
The reason is that step 1 creates some temporary disk of 0B which sits at sda.
Because of this, the setup fails with the error "Problem opening /dev/sda".
How can I make sure the disk label does not change on reboot?
