Orin Nano PXE Question

Hi. I have an Orin Nano Dev Kit which I have flashed the firmware up to 36.2 up to.

I would ideally like to install the Jetson Ubuntu OS fully via PXE onto the NVME card so we have a repeatable process. I don’t even want the SD card installed. I have a working PXE server serving files and have followed all the various forums and guides I can find.

Steps I have followed to create the install package:
1.) Downloaded Driver Package and unpacked it (Linux_for_Tegra)
2.) Went to /Linux_for_Tegra/tools/samplefs and executed
./nv_build_samplefs.sh --abi aarch64 --distro ubuntu --flavor minimal --version jammy
3.) Moved generated rootfs files to /Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs and unpack it there
4.) ./apply_binaries.sh to install nvidia binaries
5.) Create new user to be able to login via SSH
/Linux_for_Tegra/tools/l4t_create_default_user.sh -u foo -p bar --accept-license

This appears to run through via PXE ok, proved by the fact I can login to the shell with the newly created user once it’s finished, however it seems too fast to do an actual install (it takes about a minute to complete from hitting the ‘boot from PXE’ button which from my experience, is too fast to install a full Ubuntu OS!) Following this, when I reboot the device without the NIC connected it goes straight to UEFI shell prompt rather than booting to an OS. I don’t declare what disk to install the OS onto anywhere / I’m not sure how this is done

I’m clearly missing something obvious, any help appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry for the late response.
Is this still an issue to support? Any result can be shared?
Could you try with JP6.0 GA/36.3?
