Hallo Marc, Marc Haber <mh+debian-packages@zugschlus.de> (2021-06-08): > I followed the instructions given on > https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=282839 > to install Debian on a Raspberry Pi using the UEFI firmware > available for the raspi. > > This involves unpacking the official Debian 11 image into an ESP > partition on an USB medium and using the Rasberry Pi UEFI firmware > to boot the installer via UEFI => grub => Linux.

AFAICR (I'll get back to that soon enough) you should get a message indicating which files were expected, so that you don't have to guess. > Requesting German keyboard layout does not work in the beginning of > installation, domain name and user name configuration still happens > with the default US keyboard layout.

A quick grep across our source packages show 3 possibilities: - debootstrap - debian-installer-utils - apt-setup (code apparently copied from d-i-utils until some clean-up happens, which never did) > And, the installed system does neither have /var/log/installer nor > /var/log/debian-installer.
