[qubes-users] How do you automount /dev/xvdi in AppVMs?

2017-12-08 Thread qbertqube
How do you automount /dev/xvdi in AppVMs? In a typical OS, this is done by modifying /etc/fstab. With Qubes OS AppVMs, /etc/fstab is not preserved between reboots. Should I modify the TemplateVM's /etc/fstab? Should I add "mount /dev/xvdi /mnt/removable" to the AppVM's /rw/config/rc.local?

I'm trying to install Qubes on my Razer Blade Stealth (4k 2016 16gb ram). It has no legacy mode, so I need to install in UEFI mode. Also, I don't want to trust reefind. Here's the problem I'm having. First, in the installaiton menu, anything I click leads me to this fast message that appears
