Proposed change: Add note to web installer instructions about the Pixel 6a not working as an install platform (computer used to flash a supported device).
Context: Pixel 6a can't be used to flash a support device. Web installer does not find the device. This was tested by pull requester on a Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS 2025071900. The OS was configured with default settings, the browser as well. All of the web installer instructions were followed. After seeking support on the official support channels, it was confirmed by the community that this is a known Pixel 6a issue.
Reasoning: Useful to add to the website given that the Pixel 6a is a likely candidate to be used as an install platform and because it is unclear why the install fails without asking on the community chat rooms / fora. The Pixel 6a is a popular device for running GrapheneOS but is over half of its support time already. It is likely that this device will be used a lot more for flashing in the future when GrapheneOS users upgrade their devices, especially because it's often encouraged to use an Android device as an install platform because it's normally the most reliable.
