New install stable Image on SSD - no access

Hello, I tried to install on my SSD this Image:
emonSD-10Nov22 (Stable)
from
https://docs.openenergymonitor.org/emonsd/download.html
Writing with etcher. After start the pi there is a failure:
You are in emergency mode…
Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked.

I think the problem is the image is for a sd card and I installed it to an 128GB SSD (plugged via SATA to USB adapter) on an Pi400.

I checked the internet for the issue. Adjust the fstab.
But what should I change?
I thought an SSD is a sda, sdb or something and no mmc…

The SD card is rather particular and copies a specific fstab file, so no, the image will not work with an SSD.

My advice is to follow the self install using the emonScript. Pretty sure the RPi imager copes with SSDs. I think you will still need to create a dummy partition first still though and then expand the partitions as per the instructions for the SD Card.
