Well that'll be a many hours I'm not getting back :(

I took the CD and it booted and installed fine on my Pi 4 ESXi server.

I changed my config so that the proxmox VMs PXE booted and that worked a treat. I discovered as part of the setup that the control client I was using "talosctl" was actually a really old version. (I discovered because it wouldnt update kube).

So I fixed talosctl, and then had another go booting the ISO, doing an install, and it worked. Argh :) It must have been related to the old ctrl client I was using. "brew upgrade talosctl" was working, but somehow an old version was still lingering...

Anyway, I've got three nodes running, now to play with Kube. Hoping I can get it to use the ceph that proxmox setup...
