Unfortunately I am unable to provide the output by text since I am
only able to login via tty2. I can take a photo of it and send it.
Will that be okay?

Please keep the conversation on list.
And please don't top post.

I'd assumed you knew pretty much what you were doing, since you're
trying a somewhat unusual installation for Debian. You can post a photo
somewhere if you need to and post a link to the mailing list.

Dear Debian users and developers,
I would like to know if it’s possible to create the /home BTRFS
subvolume on a second disk (nvme, etc.) during expert installation?
If so, how? The reason I ask is because I was following this YouTube
video (https://youtu.be/MoWApyUb5w8) and I have tried to do the
partition table first (/ on first disk and the /home on the second
disk, both BTRFS), then Ctrl + Alt + F2 to the Debian installer
shell to create some BTRFS subvolumes on the first disk similar as
in the video. The subvolumes for the first disk that I created were
@ (for /root), @cache, @log, and @tmp.  

Err I haven't looked at the video but I think the @ subvolume should
be for / (i.e. the root directory) rather than for /root (i.e.
root's home directory). The latter is just a normal directory in the
former.
After I finish, I proceed to do
a minimal installation of Debian. Once I reboot after the complete
installation and login through terminal I get a message that HOME is
not found and sets HOME=/ (which is very odd since the partition was
done). I tried to install the minimal KDE Plasma and tried to login
to see what occurs. But can’t login to the desktop because it takes
me right back to the login screen. Can someone please help me on
this?

Thank you for your time and help.  

Maybe after you boot you could run e.g. df -hT and post the output
here.

My sincere apologies. I did not notice that the conversation was not on the list.
Here is a photo link of my df -hT as requested > https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xaJ8kyPGMYY32H2cG_pipuwYjXYQQxhn/view?usp=drivesdk

Thank you for your time and help.
