Default password for default user unknown. Ideas on how to install nomad to hd wont work, because a password will be needed to instal to hd. Since this password is not set or not known ...

Hello @tps800, the password is set at first boot when configuring the default nomad user.

Yes, it is asked for, but later on exactly this password wont work for the
default user …

That's odd.

You can change the password for root and nomad as follows:

  1. Reboot into single-user mode
  2. Hit [ENTER] when asked to.
  3. Run mount -a
  4. Run kbdmap and select your keyboard layout.
  5. Run passwd to change the root password.
  6. Run passwd nomad to change the password for nomad.
  7. Press CTRL+D or type exit followed by [ENTER] to exit from the shell to boot into multi-user mode.
