This is not the case, Debian will be installed to the SATA disk. Between
the installer and flash-kernel things are arranged such that the kernel
+initrd in the flash do the right things to boot Debian from the disk.
This does not need any u-boot hackery and works with the defaults.

This might be a bit trickier, but I'm afraid I expect you are the first
