The installation appears to go fine.
The installer creates a new entry 'Debian' in the boot list.
Machine rebooted, pressing F12 to get into one-time boot option.
Choice is 'Debian', or 'Windows Boot Manager'.
Take option 'Debian' and system then hangs with:
'Press F1 key to retry boot.'
'Press F2 key to reboot into setup.'
'Press F5 key to run onboard diagnostics.'

None of which lead to Debian.
