SOLVED install loop

[CBlack]

Fixed by installing from an usb stick, moved away from the SD card. Also had to find the correct one to use for starting..

Hello,
I am trying to setup Truenas core and have found a working sd card for the install (i think).
It didnt like the off brand 8 gig or the sandisk 400 gig but have it installing off a 64 gig.

Used win32diskimager (use this for all my iso burns) to install and had to use my usb2 port, kept failing on usb 3.

Equipment:
mobo: ASUS ROG Strix B550-I Gaming AMD AM4 (3rd Gen RyzenTM) Mini-ITX
cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core
SSD: SAMSUNG 870 QVO SATA III
RAM: G.Skill RipJaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin SDRAM PC4-28800 DDR4 3600

Shows installed and to reboot, if i reboot, it does not boot. I did this a few times and have did clean install again and upgrade.
Currently, hung at the mountroot prompt.

Suggestion or I am I doing install wrong?

It seems that i am not making a boot file to move forward? any ideas?

The FreeBSD boot manager, which TrueNAS Core uses, is known to have difficulties booting from SD cards. See https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/boot-from-sd-card-while-usb-disks-attached.78877/. You'll need to either get a small SSD attached to a SATA port or a USB port for your boot drive.

Thanks @Samuel Tai , had to pull and then slowly go through the drives to figure out what one it was.
