Re: Having trouble installing Debian on brand new hard drive
Thanks.
Two thoughts about your failures:
The (U)EFI partition seems far to small, I think mine was about 200 MB
originaly and I extended it to 700 MB, so I was able to make UEFI updates.
PXE Boot is booting over network (TFTP) and not want you want. You can
configure your boot device in the BIOS settings. If this is set correctly,
it's most likely a matter of the too small EFI partition.
Best regards,
Klaus.
