Thanks.
I flashed this onto a USB stick and booted it in UEFI mode on a host
with a brtfs root. Selected Rescue mode. Went through hardware
detection and network configuration as usual. Selected the btrfs
partition as root. Rescue mode offered to mount the EFI partition
right after. I launched a shell and could verify that the correct
partitions appear.
I think we're good to go for Bookworm now. Thanks again!
