People,
Hi Phil,
I used the latest LiveUSB:
fedora-coreos-34.20210626.3.1-live.x86_64.iso
and I can install it OK and it created 4 partitions on /dev/sda but I can't get it to boot from there. I have the boot order set up with sda first and the live USB second and I always get the live version booting
odd. What happens if you remove the USB key from the system and try to boot?
. .
I do not add the ign switch for the install command thinking that a bare minimal install command will work just as well as the LiveUSB (DHCP works in live mode)? ie:
sudo coreos-installer install /dev/sda
Unfortunately that won't be sufficient. The live ISO will drop you to a bash shell, but an installed system won't do that. In the very least you need to create an Ignition config with an SSH key you can use to log in to the machine.

I am thinking of installing the F34 workstation version just to see if that will boot from sda . . any other suggestions?
Not really. Our disk images should work in either legacy BIOS boot or UEFI boot, but maybe one data point would be to try one or the other and see if you get different behavior.
Good Luck!
Please let us know what you find.
