IOException: Error opening /dev/sda: No such device or address

[nesselzzz]

I get this error every time I try to install ONL on my Quantamesh t1048 lb9:

IOException: Error opening /dev/sda: No such device or address

Before I continue, it is probably worth noting that I am very new to linux.

When I purchased this switch, ONIE was not preinstalled, so I followed the guide in this repository for how to compile the software for my switch. I installed it and I was able to boot ONIE just fine. It's just the install does not recognize /dev/sda. I see sda and sdb in /dev, but it is not mounted. Below is a more detailed output. Any help I can get would be appreciated. Thanks!
