Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • USB drives not found before first system reboot during system install. This issue only occurs if the USB drive is installed after kernel hardware detection.  If the USB drive is plugged in before this occurs the drive should be located. The reason this may be done is to avoide automatic partitioning of the drive.

Environment
