chreipl currently fails on Ubuntu 20.04 when given a device node (e.g. chreipl /dev/nvme0n1p1). This is because chreipl cannot find the expected sysfs directory structure. We are investigating the best way to fix this. If the Ubuntu installer can still complete an install to NVMe devices without this particular invocation of chreipl then we recommend going forward with the code as-is and we can provide a bug fix at a later date. I suspect this should be fine, as chreipl should only affect the reboot following OS installation.

It should be noted that chreipl works when given the devices function id (FID) parameter instead of the device node. It only fails when it needs to look up the device's FID given the device node.
