OKD 4.17 SNO Installation on GCP Compute instance with platform: none

[avyas26]

Describe the bug

I am trying to install OKD version 4.17 single node cluster on a GCP compute machine. I have used two different base OS.

1. Available in GCP as Fedora CoreOS and provided the ignition created using openshift-install. In this scenario, the installation fails at “install-to-disk.sh” stage

Jan 01 12:19:44 testing.example.com systemd[1]: install-to-disk.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

2. In this scenario, I have downloaded and tried versions 4.17 and 4.16 from “mirror.openshift.com” CoreOS image for GCP. Uploaded to GCP bucket and created a custom image. Used this image to provision the node. Installation fails during pivot-bootstrap stage.
