Thanks for the many infos; I have to look to the battery in
any case.[1]

Yes, there is one SSD. Because I've never heard of NVMe before
I ignored it for the moment an formatted my SATA disks and
installed 13.1 on one of them. (I wanted to try to use the
SSD after I have a running system.)

In dmesg one finds:
ada0: <WDC WD60EFAX-68JH4N1 83.00A83> ACS-3 ATA SATA 3.x device
and the same for ada1, ada2 and ada3.

[1] I wrote this morning also to Mifcom GmbH/Munich, the supplier
of this PC. They advised me to try to enable CSM support.
I tried (just now) -- and the screen went black, cannot boot anything
or get my hand on the Bios to disable CSM again.
So I have to remove the battery for some time to reset the Bios.
(I hope I will be able to do that without damaging anything
