Thank you. I got the installer to work but, so far, the system does not boot. Seems to be based on Debian testing. I had never used that installer, somewhere it told me I'd be asked for the boot system, but I did not get that question. Neither with a GPT nor with an MBR hard drive. All this in VirtualBox, I did not try on a real PC.
Hm ... let's see. Virtualbox is kind of picky, but I think you accidently skipped the bootloder installation, which is quite easy to miss. Refractainstaller asks you at some point if it should install the bootlader. If you skip that question and choose "Continue" it will not install the bootloader --> system will not boot. This is true for both EFI and legacy boot, but the messages are different. What also does not work is MSDOS partitioning scheme on EFI or GPT on legacy boot. I run VirtualBox 7.1.12 in legacy and EFI mode with the extension pack installed. And I alwaays start with a clean disk, e.g. issue a "blkdiscard" or "wipefs -a" first.
What happened to me more than once was that I tried to install the system into the EFI system partition and missed the error messag.
Anyway, if the bootloader was not installed you could either boot the installed system from the isos grub commandline - here for GPT where / is on 2. partition:
c set root=(hd0,2) linux /vmlinuz initrd /initrd.img boot
From the installed system reinstall grub-efi
With qemu things are easier: I just start with a sparse file e.g. "truncate -s 10G sda.img"
The live system runs great.
That's good :)
