Right but how do you install it on that drive if you’re using that drive as the ISO on first boot?

I see what you’re saying but it sounds like you’re using two block devices on at least the first boot? Or am I missing something?

You use two USB sticks, on one you write the installer and during install you select the second usb-stick instead for example a SSD..that's it.

Exactly

You just need those two sticks for installation, after installation just one. NomadBSD is just a preinstalled Image +.

Yeah, that’s the difference. NomadBSD only ever requires a single blockdevice.

Using two is a minor inconvenience, but the work going into NomadBSD is pretty cool. You should check it out, sounds like you boot off flash drives pretty often.
