I'm trying to use the installer with a Raspberry 4B, and I want to install and run the OS on a SSD drive connected to USB (no SD card inserted).

Before September 2020, the process was complex and not all the SSD were supporter, but after September, a change in the Raspi4 EEPROM simplified a lot the process (source)

The current raspberrypi-ua-netinst release v2.4.0+ (caf7423), only takes into account the USB mass storage boot for devices up to Raspi3B.

In fact:

Prior of doing that, I manually updated the EEPROM of my Raspi4 to past Aug 20 2020 version, and configured it to boot from USB using these instructions (installed Raspberry Pi OS 2020-08-20 or newer, performed a apt full-upgrade, run rpi-config and selected SD/USB (default) as boot mode), to be sure to have USB boot enabled and working.
