I gave up on installing on a USB stick and managed to get my hands on a second disk and installed Qubes on it. Everything went fine but after the first boot when configuring the VMs the following error appeared "A VM with the name 'sys-firewall' does not exist in the system".
Can I somehow restart this configuration process without reinstalling everything? Or how can I create the default VMs (personal, work, vault etc)? Has someone experience the same error?
Thanks for your help & thanks for your work!
Just posted the same error.
This problem has happened even with RC1.
You can retry configuration by calling 'sudo qubesctl state.highstate' in a console in dom0.
I had this problem and it resolved it for me with RC1. I have not installed RC2 from scratch.
