bootc install to-existing-root fails with multiple backing devices
Run podman run --rm --privileged --pid=host -v /:/target -v /dev:/dev -v /var/lib/containers:/var/lib/containers --security-opt label=type:unconfined_t quay.io/redhat_emp1/bootc-workflow-test:jjj0 bootc install to-existing-root on nvidia-jetson-agx-orin board with LVM configured failed with error Installing to filesystem: Found multiple parent devices /dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/nvme0n1; not currently supported.
This nvidia board has one SD/mmc and one nvme as disks. Bootc install does not support two disks?

Ah yes, as the comment in the code says that's generally only required for a grub installation.
Yeah, we should be able to fix this by making the backing_device an Option<T> all the way down into the bootloader install.
umm, I could not reproduce it working with bootc-0.1.11-1.fc40.x86_64 andbootc-0.1.9-3.el9_4.x86_64
Here are the disk configs I tried:
[root@ip-10-0-142-129 ec2-user]# lsblk

@henrywang are you still seen it for the new version of bootc?
I will give it a try with bootc-0.1.9-4.el9 as well.
@henrywang have you run into this again recently? I haven't been able to replicate it yet, although I don't have access to the exact hardware you had the issue on.
