I did a fully automatic disk partition on my last attempt to install Qubes 4. When I try to boot my new Qubes install, I get a 'no bootable device' error. I looked at the partitioning scheme using a live usb drive and it shows a /boot partition, with EFI and GRUB information and a large encrypted partition, which presumably holds / and swap. It may be relevant that the installation was on a 500GB SSD drive and that there is also a 2TB hard disk in the system. I used gparted to delete all partitions from both devices before installing Qubes. The 2TB device is entirely unallocated and using BIOS to turn off recognition of everything but the SSD drive has no effect. Also the system indicates it has UEFI firmware.
I'm not very familiar w/ how the boot process works, but had thought there would need to be a GPT table or MBR on the disk, but automatic boot doesn't put one there. In previous attempts to install, I tried to create an ESP (GPT) partition, but the Qubes installer would not permit this (and doesn't have it as an option). In another attempt, I added a BIOSBOOT partition (for MBR table, I presume) of 1MB. Installation halts at post-installation (about half way through) and never completes. Any suggestions?
