Trying to use the netinst iso to install Fedora-Server 36 on a new 1T
NVME drive. The drive is gpt has currently a 17M Microsoft Reserved
partition and the rest of the disk is a single ntfs partition. The
system is uefi and currently boots windows and fedora 35 on other drives
intended
/boot 1G
/ 200G
The netinst wants a bios boot partition, and a /boot/efi partition.
Wondering about the biosboot partition if it is an uefi system. Did
you try with enough free space before you boot net install?
With no free space available it may treat the hardware as newly to
install and delete the current content of the hd completely. And maybe
struggle with an unknown partition type. With enough free space for
installation available, it should ignore the existing partitions.
Dual boot is a bit tricky today. And we assume Server to be the only
inhabitant on the system. Co-existence is not a test case.
Did you specifically use the Server net install disk (not another one
and then switch to Server as install target).
It was netinst. In the past I've found the installer for netinst gave me
more control over the installation and I could then configure the system
as desired. That no longer seems to be the case.
I often use the Everything netinst because it lets me configure things
how I want. I haven't had any problems with dual-boot or multiple
drives. However, you are doing something that is probably not going to
work with the installer. There is no support for having multiple Fedora
instances on the same UEFI system. (Besides you seem to also have some
other issue regarding UEFI or legacy boot.)
