nh3-pve and esh-pve are the same Minisforum MS-01 (BIOS AHWSA.1.17). With a
card in the x16 slot its root port takes bus 01 and every NIC moves down a
bus (measured on esh-pve), so predictable names change (enp2s0f0np0 ->
enp3s0f0np0 etc.) and vmbr0 would boot with no uplink. systemd .link files
now pin all NICs by MAC, baked into every initramfs and synced to the ESP;
udev confirms the files apply. The AMT-capable I226-LM (enp88s0) leaves
vmbr0's bridge-ports in the file (next boot), so cabling it for AMT cannot
loop the STP-less bridge.
Also: documented the NanoKVM (https://10.100.250.171) as nh3-pve's console
OOB and that AMT is not wired; nh3-dev's Beszel agent no longer binds NAS
shares (it died on the last NH3 cold start); post-boot checklist in
persistent-memory.
