Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH installer 4/4] fetch-answer: use partition label from fetch config instead of hardcoded
Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2024 13:59:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241018115943.813243-5-c.heiss@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241018115943.813243-1-c.heiss@proxmox.com>

This has been requested by at least one user one user [0] and definitely
makes sense, esp. for BMCs/IPMIs where one might not be able to control
the partition label.
