Workaround: add "disk: /dev/sda" to your config yaml

srv110.yaml

Show the disk section in srv110.yaml, it might not have been detected when creating the template.

We probably need to add default value /dev/sda into config generation, if no other values detected.

Was it resolved in https://github.com/cozystack/talm/pull/41?
