Which Raspberry Pi model - Pete Batard has a version of UEFI that works on
a Pi 4 and can boot enough to then use the Debian installer. Essentially,
you put UEFI and the raspberry pi firmware package in the ESP on a USB stick

Otherwise, you can probably use one of Gunnar Wolf's images which will
allow you to ssh in as root initially. See his pages on the Wiki.
