auto detect boot device not working - throws an error #208

We have a machine that detects the USB boot media as /dev/sda1 and the internal drive as /dev/nvme0n1 so we tried using 'DEVICE="auto"' and your new code for supporting that isn't working. Throws the following error:

alis.sh: line 97: MOUNTPOINT: command not found

I'm working remotely so I didn't get to debug the issue further.

Can you post these lsblk commands output?

lsblk
lsblk -oMOUNTPOINT,PKNAME -P -M

Note - the system is up an running (i.e., these are not the output from the boot prompt on the installer disk.). Let me know if you need me to boot from that and repeat the commands.

Yes, please, provide the commands output from the boot prompt on the installer disk.

Output from booting from the installer disk:

Thanks for the feedback.

I tested a small script with your output and the command was working for me. But anyway I changed the command to do this task, maybe now works for you, if not comment me again please.
