Seems you are trying to PXE boot which is failing. You might need to modify the boot order.

Ahhh, that would be it.
It nearly works with Version 9 - The Proxmox bit gets repository’s wrong, but its no Biggy to fix

Guys, the Proxmox helper scripts make it really easy and do work:

Does anyone know where I can find a good tutorial on upgrading Proxmox 8 to Proxmox 9? Apparantly support for 8 will end soon.

I just clicked the update in the PVE section proxmox? I didn't even think about it? Started on v7.0 now on v 9.2.3 and have only ever clicked the update section to do the updates. Never needed a guide.
Do you have subscription by any chance? I also couldn't find how to upgrade from UI. Then i found a guide somewhere (can't say where anymore) to upgrade from ssh and all went well, proxmox ran on V9. Until i rebooted... then proxmox didn't start anymore. So i have to do a fresh new v9 install. Ok, i admit, i guess i missed a step somewhere in the middle...but still, this should be way easier than typing a thousand of linux lines in shell one by one manually (like it's written on above guide).
I have used pveXtoX, as instructed in Continuously use the pve8to9 checklist script multiple times with success (started with Proxmox v5.x).
Now I'm still on v8.4.19 but since I want to replace disks, I will start from scratch.
I'm doing some tests to see how it goes to move my virtual machines temporarily to another system so downtime is minimal.

I just googled the question and it told me this which saved me writing it
Option 1: Via the Web GUI (Recommended for minor updates)
- Log in to your Proxmox Web Interface.
- In the left-hand menu, expand your Datacenter and select your specific Node.
- Click on the Updates tab.
- Click Refresh to fetch the latest package lists from the repositories.
- Once the task finishes, click Upgrade. A shell window will open to complete the process. When prompted, confirm by typing
Yand pressing Enter. - Reboot your server if a new kernel was installed
Until I read this earlier I had no idea I had updated to v9, didn't even know it existed. I don't have any subscription, I just update it every month or so.
Hm... that's interesting.. Updates - that i do regularly, too (i have a reminder in HA for that) and i didn't receive any V8 -->V9 update back then.
I guess let's wait and see what will happen when (if) V10 comes out)...
I guess you get the major upgrades if you modified the sources.
Also, running that pveXtoX script (with --full switch) does a check and shows potential issues before upgrading.
