I get problems as soon as the partionning in debian installer. When I finish
the system does not boot.
What partitions do I need ? I understand that EFI needs an FAT32 EFP.
I've no idea about btrfs, but yes - you will need a FAT32 EFI System
Partition. If you use guided partitioning, d-i will set one up for you
automatically. If you're not doing guided partitioning, set one up
manually within d-i and you should be fine.
Well, that is the problem, d-i does not propose a FAT32 EFI partition,
it proposes many things and a FAT32 partition but not a FAT32 EFI
partition...
So, after all trials I finish the install and fail to reboot. I can
boot if I put again my install iso disk (a USB key SDA in this case) and
I get :

I suppose I am not far, I need to transform my SDB1 in EFP, and install
something on it (what..?).
An possibly do the same thing on SDC1, in case of failure of disk SDB.
Thanks
