I used the UUID of the sda1 partition instead of the /dev/sda1 for the fstab config.

I was having the same issues until I consoled into my pineapple and just did the formatting and partitioning by hand. This might help

Looks like you don't have any partitions on your sd card. That's why fdisk -l is coming up empty. You could also run the following to see partition info. root@Pineapple:~# block info You can make partitions with the fdisk command from your ssh console root@Pineapple:~# fdisk /dev/sda That should bring you to an interactive fdisk console where you can add some partitions. Probably one for your ext4 and a smaller one for a swap. Then you can use the following to set up your new partitions mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 mkswap /dev/sda2 After all that I would run that block command
