Some of us had to update the petitboot due to compatibility issues with
some HBAs. There are pages on the Raptor wiki about petitboot beta
images for both Talos II and Blackbird.
You can try a couple of alternative installs:
- try to install OpenBSD to a USB external SSD, can petitboot find it?
- try to install some other OS, e.g. Debian or Fedora, does petitboot
find it?
