My install setup uses both microSD and usb-attached SSD. The microSD has UEFI boot loader and SSD has the miniroot.img. Because there is two media, the installer which disks to install on. I am not sure how to complete installation using only usb-attached SSD -- how to write both UEFI and bsd installer on usb. Should be feasible.
I was confused about the hostname -- if it is the location of the server or the url to be given to machine. Thats why different entries. I am not fiddling with setup anymore on now as well :).
