Hey All,

Has anyone had experience installing either Rocky or Alma Linux 9.3 
using virtual NVME disks on a FreeBSD 14R host? I have no problem using 
VirtIO block devices or if I downgrade to an 8.9 variant. However, using 
NVME with a 9.3 variant will cause the installer to consistently fail on 
my system. I'm not sure how to gather more data at this point as the 
installer displays a wall of text that I'm not sure how to extract. I've 
already burned a few hours on this so I thought I'd reach out to the 
list to see if anyone else has already dug into this. If not, I'll see 
what I can do to gather more info. For reference, here are the ISOs I've 
tried installing from so far ...

AlmaLinux-8.9-x86_64-boot.iso
AlmaLinux-9.3-x86_64-boot.iso
Rocky-9.3-x86_64-minimal.iso

Thanks,

-Matthew
