Gang,
I used the Aquarius Windows installer to install Q4OS alongside Windows 7 on a Thinkpad W520 with 266 GB of disk free and 16 GB RAM.
The install appears to have succeeded as I get prompted to select either Windows 7 or Q4OS.
However after selecting Q40S the following is displayed:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Loading Q4OS Aquarius operating system ...
Loading initial ramdisk...
Initializing system ...
Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! UUID=75E7487D19FCEA90 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox v1.35.0 (Debian 1:1.35.0-4+b3) build-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

I searched the forum and, in part, someone had the same messages in a long litany of other issues, but no resolution was posted. See:
https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3558
Secondarily, what is the proper way to exit? I used help and none of the commands seemed germane. I also used exit, logoff, shutdown but to no avail so I simply powered down.
I thank you for any assistance you care to afford.
