+- Hardware:
+	- using mum's old [[Dell XPS 8920 Desktop PC]] as a host
+	- added 4gb of my own ddr4 memory that i found (don't know why i had ddr4, i don't own any ddr4 machines!)
+	- ssd on pcieadapter for os
+	- 3x 2tb hdd for zfs raid1 setup
+- Installing proxmox
+	- installed proxmox on ssd located on a pcie adapter card (not bootable by dell bios) and created usb boot drive to boot ssd
+		- install proxmox using 'cli debug mode'--follow install path
+		- at final 'restart' step, switch into cli (crt + alt + f3) and create bootable usb with proxmox-boot-tool
+		- reboot
+			- proxmox won't boot off sdd yet
+		- at efi boot menu press 'e' and append following custom command `rootdelay=10 root=/dev/mapper/pve-root` and continue/enter
+			- this edit is volatile and does not survive reboots
+		- once proxmox booted add the following to `/etc/kernel/cmdline`
+			- `rootdelay=10 root=/dev/mapper/pve-root intel_iommu=on iommu=pt`
+			- note:
+				- `intel_iommu=on iommu=pt` enables passing sata controller to vm (ie truenas)
+				- `BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/linux26 ro ramdisk_size=16777216 rw splash=verbose proxdebug` -- can be omitted once proxmox installation has succeeded
+		- run `proxmox-boot-tool refresh` to sync changes with usb drive
+		- reboot and confirm changes with `cat /proc/cmdline`
+
