Liteserver's VPSs are non-UEFI systems (i.e. 'legacy'). Follow the manual for this type. The manual assumes that <code>/dev/sda</code> exists (as well as friends like <code>/dev/sda1</code>, <code>/dev/sda2</code>, etc.). On VPSs like Liteserver provides, <code>/dev/sda</code> ''doesn't'' exist, but <code>/dev/vda</code> plays the same role (see [https://www.baeldung.com/linux/vda-vs-sda this baeldung article] for a good explanation of this). Accordingly, substitute <code>/dev/vda</code, <code>/dev/vda1</code>, <code>/dev/vda2</code>, etc for <code>/dev/sda</code, <code>/dev/sda1</code>, <code>/dev/sda2</code>, etc in the manual's instructions. | Liteserver's VPSs are non-UEFI systems (i.e. 'legacy').
