Has been a while since I dealt with those machines - and cannot verify this here - but if you cannot boot from the disks in the internal bays you could try the following: * start the PVE installer in debug mode * let the installer run (exit the first 2 debug shells, and install regularly) * after the installation is done you get another debug shell * there re-import the zfs rpool, bind mount what's necessary and chroot into the new system - see [0] for steps. * inside format and init the sd-cards (if you want you can also create partitions on them - assuming the sd-card presents itself to the OS as /dev/sdX run: ** proxmox-boot-tool format /dev/sdX ** proxmox-boot-tool init /dev/sdX * exit the chroot, umount, export rpool * try booting from the sd-card but this is just from memory - have not tried this and am not sure if it will work smoothly.
