"no physical disk" in format.log

I'm trying to migrate my FAI setup from Debian 11 to 12, and my first
install with the new setup is not working. I'm wondering if I've missed
something somewhere, or if I've got a problem with the target server.
setup-storage is coming back with the following contents of format.log:
No disks defined in $disklist
Starting setup-storage 3.0
Using config file: /var/lib/fai/config/disk_config/CEPH_MON
This system does not have a physical disk 1
My disk config looks thus:
disk_config disk1 disklabel:gpt-bios bootable:1 fstabkey:uuid
primary / 25G ext4 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro
primary swap 32G swap sw
primary /home 100G- ext4 rw,noatime,nosuid,nodev createopts="-L home
-m 1" tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0"
primary /usr 100G ext4 rw,noatime
primary /var 100G- ext4 rw,noatime
I poked into setup-storage and found that it's trying to set $disklist
using fai-disk-info, but that returns nothing.
root at cmon03:/tmp/fai# fai-disk-info
root at cmon03:/tmp/fai# echo $?
0
There is definitely a disk there. I went through and deleted old partition
info just in case that was a problem, but that didn't fix anything.
root at cmon03:/tmp/fai# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda 8:0 0 446.6G 0 disk
dmesg.log has the following info about sda
[ 3.493392] sd 0:2:0:0: [sda] 936640512 512-byte logical blocks: (480
GB/447 GiB)

enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
[ 3.497643] sda:
[ 3.497823] sd 0:2:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk
What other troubleshooting steps can I take here? Or does someone spot an
obvious problem?
Thanks!
