My approach was to debootstrap debian from raspbian. It worked fine but I
had to use boot/kernel from raspbian. Meanwhile I know the armhf is 32bit.
I will stay with it and trying to compile the kernel. It boots but hangs
somewhere. I would rather appreciate a useful config. I took kernel 5.6,
but time is constrain :)

I don't understand what GPT has to do with the rpi boot process, but I
prefer tftp boot because it is easier to control.
