Re: debian installer on arm64

No, not at all. Unfortunately, the Macchiatobin still ships with

am I right that this U-Boot stumbles over partition id 0xef of the second
partition of the installer iso?
The EDK2 image I've used is one built by my friend Leif (unixsmurf on
IRC) [4], and it works reasonably well. Using that, the system should
happily boot Debian from a USB stick and it should let you install and
run.
Great, thanks a lot! The installer does start now. Unfortunately I get:

and the installer is available. Do you have any idea why it needs to wait?
