Looks like you created a storage pool but just didn’t add it to your default profile.

You’ll need to either always pass --storage local whenever you create an instance or add a root device to your default profile:

incus profile device add default root disk path=/ pool=local

That solved one problem now it confused on networking. Funny last install was all automatic.
BTW, I am starting to like Incus a lot better than LXD. I was able to move my other cluster pretty easily except upgrading host machine to 22.04 took longer

The instance you are starting doesn’t have any network attached to it.
To create a new network, use: incus network create
To attach a network to an instance, use: incus network attach

Right, you need to create a network of some kind and similarly attach it to the default profile.

incus network create incusbr0 --target RRSOC
incus network create incusbr0
incus profile device add default eth0 nic network=incusbr0 name=eth0

Worked Great after that
