The documentation https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/generic-x86-64/ does not indicate that it will install a HAOS imagine to a local disk. There is no information about installing the image to a disk nor selecting a disk. It makes it sound like you will just operate off of USB drive permanently and you instead need to use Method 1.
#Method 2: Installing HAOS directly from a boot medium does it install to disk?

Also it seems there is no USB size requirements listed in the documentation and it seem my install has errored out on the 8gb drive I used.

No, you use the USB flash drive to write directly to the internal drive

how does happen

Ah I see my issue
i have confused Method 1 with method 2
Method 2 is flashiong and image straight to a hard drive
not create a bootable USB installer that writes the image like any other type of OS installer

one flashes from the machine itself via a USB drive, and the other uses a separate machine to flash to the drive
