Some further information. I decided to collect the same information for my other computers, seeing as, hypothetically, if I end up loving 9front, I'll want to switch all my computers over. (..once enough software has been written/ported for that to be feasible, if it ever is..) I have already documented what happens with the 7450, and my thinkpad T430. There wasn't much to document for the 430.
I also have a Dell Latitude e7440. I just tested it, and it looks like it gives results similar to the T430: ..a bunch of output.. /dev/sdM0: MMC Host Controller /dev/sdM1: MMC Host Controller /dev/sdM2: MMC Host Controller bootargs is (tcp, tls, il, local!device)[] ..which I suspect indicates that this hardware is not supported, or something else is wrong. there absolutely may be critical info in the "a bunch of output". unfortunately, my phone (which contains my camera) is broken, so if more info is needed, we either have to wait, or I have to type it in. ..and I have now done the same test with the T420, which I have been using as one of my two daily drivers. With it, I am able to select what I think is the boot drive.. but when I do, it just asks me again.. and again.. and again.. looks like an infinite loop to me..
