Hi Stefan,

THX a lot for (again) helping me and the explanation.

I run the command like you adviced and no error message showed up.

So far, so good - unfortunatelly the system still does not boot after the 
'reboot'. Still stops at the manufacturers splash screen not recognizing any 
storage device to boot from.

Any other idea? Could it be that this machine's particular BIOS needs an 'a' 
partition on sd0 to find the device? As the system is unusable at present and I 
need to disassemble the SSDs anyway to get them wiped in order to proceed with 
the next install I will give this a try.

Best,
STEFAN
