Disaster recovery after T-FORCE SSD failure.

/dev/sda → /dev/vda (virtio-blk)
metal-installer-secureboot → installer (non-secureboot)
Remove grubUseUKICmdline: true

Disaster recovery after T-FORCE SSD failure and Proxmox reinstall on pantheon.
Workers are now on ZFS hddpool with virtio-blk (virtio0 → /dev/vda).

- Change install disk from /dev/sda to /dev/vda (virtio-blk, not virtio-scsi)
- Switch from metal-installer-secureboot to installer (non-secureboot)
- Remove grubUseUKICmdline: true (not compatible with OVMF 4M secboot on PVE 9.2)

Root cause: OVMF_CODE_4M.secboot.fd crashes at 0x30000 on q35+pve0/QEMU 11.0.0;
workaround is 2M legacy OVMF + non-secureboot ISO/installer.
