NVMe Drive as Boot Drive
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To use a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) drive as the boot drive for any of
your nodes, you must configure your host and adjust kernel parameters during
installation:
- Configure the host to be in UEFI mode.
- Edit the kernel boot parameter. After you are presented with the StarlingX
ISO boot options and after you have selected the preferred installation option
(e.g. Standard Configuration / All-in-One Controller Configuration), press the
TAB key to edit the Kernel boot parameters. Modify the **boot_device** and
**rootfs_device** from the default **sda** so that it is the correct device
name for the NVMe drive (e.g. "nvme0n1").
