Shell prompt shows bitpixie:~# instead of initramfs #38
Description
Hi there,
I am following the tutorial/documentation for Bitpixie, which states that after booting, I should be dropped into an initramfs prompt to run the exploit commands.
However, on my screen, it boots into Alpine Linux 3.23 and prompts for a login. After logging in as root, the prompt displays as bitpixie:~# instead of initramfs.
Could you please clarify if the documentation is outdated, or if I missed a step in the boot process?

After you logged in as root you see the 2 commands like you have on your screenshot and normally below that you would see the possible bitlocker partition. Then you could run the command: run-exploit /dev/nvme0p1 or something similar.
In your case there are no bitlocker partitions found. I had this issue before and had to change a drive setting in bios, RAID to ... (can't remember) and after the exploit change it back. Hopefully this can help you!
