That's because Grub wasn't installed in the MBR, hence explaining
why the FreeBSD loader wasn't touched.

Yes, more than once. And it also attempts to mount each partition
several times, trying different filesystem types, particularly
when you let os-prober run.

The question is how it got a null string there, rather than
/dev/sda or some such. I wonder whether we can replicate that.
Are you using the Debian 12.9 installer or something older (as
I see you have /dev/sdb4:Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm):Debian
already. Is it the DVD or netinst version? (IOW do you have the
filename of what you copied onto the USB stick?)

Of incidental interest is why the installation seems to be
set for an Eastern US time zone (-0500).
