I am factory resetting my yellow as I want to fully rebuild my HASS setup....all the videos and directions online reference an old UI version of Raspberry Pi Imager....after navigating to the correct area, I have a few questions....one, since I am installing on the yellow, with a CM4 and NVME, I assume the "Select your Raspberry Pi device" section is left blank since it only lists Raspberry Pis, and I am using a yellow....and two, on the "Choose operationg system", since I have the previously mentioned hardware, I assume I am downloading the "Home Assistant OS 16.3 (Yellow)" and not the "Home Assistant OS Installer for Yellow"....and three, which is a continued part of question two, its says "using rpiboot", yet no videos reference this...only using a thumb drive to install the OS, not rpiboot. How do I do this? Can someone point me in the right direction as my yellow keeps getting hung up on the "Preparing page" and keeps erroring out saying not enough space on disk.

if your writing to a flash drive you want to write the installer.
THIS documentation covers reinstalling. yes its a different version fo the RPI Imager but its mostly the same instructions just in a bit of a different place.

Happy to report, I was able to do it. The caveat that I think no one mentions is that when you plug your yellow into the pc and run rpiboot, after it gets done, in the command prompt is says your nvne drive should be available in imager....which got me to think, write the imager to the nvme on the yellow. I think ever piece of instructions misses that part as only references using a flash drive. Lol.
