NVMe drives are already supported by Linux kernel (via "nvme" kernel
module), so they are supported by Debian and other distros.
Is this NVMe drive appears to be detected when you are inside BIOS?
If it is detected by BIOS, try to add "nvme" kernel module manually
during installation.
To do that, proceed with text-mode installation until you reach
"Partition Disks" section.
Select "<Go Back>" and choose "Execute a Shell" menu option.
To insert nvme module type "modprobe nvme" at command prompt. Verify by
typing "lsmod | grep nvme"
It should output something like this:
# lsmod | grep nvme
nvme 36864 0
nvme_core 81920 1 nvme
After that type "exit" to return to main menu and select "Detect disks"
option.
If your nvme drive was detected proceed with installation as usual.
