Clonezilla PXE deployment fails because disk name changes (sda vs nvme) – how to fix?

I’m trying to use Clonezilla to mass deploy a Windows image to multiple PCs over the network.

Here’s what I did:

• Created an image using Clonezilla from a Windows machine (via USB)
• Set up Clonezilla Server (DRBL) for network/PXE deployment
• Goal: restore this image to multiple client PCs (disk-to-disk deployment)

The problem:

During the setup on the Clonezilla server, it asks me to select a destination disk (e.g. sda).
But this seems to be based on the server machine, not the client machines.

When clients boot over PXE and try to restore the image, the process fails because:

• The disk name on the client is different (e.g. nvme0n1 instead of sda)
• Clonezilla expects the exact disk name defined earlier
• There’s no option on the client side to select or override the target disk

What I expected:

I expected Clonezilla to:

• Either ignore the disk name and restore to the primary disk automatically
• Or let the client choose the destination disk during deployment
