NomadBSD 130R-20210508 (64-bit/x86-64/amd64)
was successfully installed and running on a USB stick.
The screen was detected and the GUI was running smoothly.

However I preferred to have the OS permanently on a Hard Drive.
I tried the basic installation on the Hard Drive from the USB Stick.
It installed NVIDIA drivers 440.

However when I boot from the hard drive, no GUI is shown.
When I input the command X : no screen detected.

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz × 12
GPU: NVIDIA Corporation GP102 [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti]
Display: Sharp Corporation 32''

Any advice on how to fix this issue?

According to xorg.0.log the NVIDIA driver is not installed:

 [    75.950] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
 [    75.950] (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so

 [    75.950] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (loader failed, 0)

Install the latest nvidia-driver package:

% sudo pkg install nvidia-driver-470

It didn't do the trick

All repository are up-to-dates
pkg: no packages available to install matching nvidia-driver-440

Internet was available during the whole installation

Version 1.4 of NomadBSD is quite old, and so are the packages. Upgrade your packages first:

% sudo pkg upgrade

then

% sudo pkg install nvidia-driver

This should install the latest NVIDIA driver.
