I'm having trouble performing a baremetal install of VIRL 1.6.65 on my Dell Server.  I keep getting " failed Executing 'grub-install /dev/nvme0n1'. failed. this is a fatal error"  I suspect it has something to do with the Partition Table: gpt. Any assistance I can get would be great.   When I run the grub-install command manually I get the following error: sudo grub-install /dev/nvme0n1 Installing for i386-pc platform. gurb-install: error: failed to get canonical path of 'aufs'. I've attached the /var/logs from the installer. System details: PowerEdge R730xd with NVME and 11 drives.

I'm looking to use BGPs Dynamic Neighbors technology but I don't see any RFC's related to it.  On Cisco's site they describe how to use it in an example but I wanted to see the related RFC.  Is there a RFC that is related to this and is what Cisco used to incorporate this into their BGP implementation?  http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/iproute_bgp/configuration/xe-3sg/irg-xe-3sg-book/irg-dynamic-neighbor.html Thanks in advance. ...
