I, uh, don't have a great explanation for how that weird list of
entries came to be- other than the drive probably had Windows on it
originally, and then it had Mint on it when I got my hands on it (which
would've used ubuntu kernels/shims/whatever), and then I've installed
debian bookworm twice on it so far? But honestly, who knows. *shrug*
Bug#1033686: installation-reports: non-bootable install due to no UEFI entries
Oh duh, the nvram is on the board itself, not on the disk drive. Okay, that makes more sense. The machine itself came with windows, and then I had a different drive in it with Debian on it. Originally legacy mode, at some point I switched to EFI and used both shimx64.efi and grubx64.efi at alternative points in the BIOS. So that was added by me in the BIOS, not d-i! And then I installed this drive, which had Mint on it, and I added an entry in the BIOS to boot it.

Was this a choice the installer made, or was it the only option? I don't actually have a workaround yet. And if the installer had a check box to ask for a GPT even though the install media was booted without UEFI, then I could at least get this working after some fiddling.

Bug#1033686: installation-reports: non-bootable install due to no UEFI entries
After a discussion on IRC, I tried doing the installation in expert mode and forcing installation of grub onto the removable media path: https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI#Force_grub-efi_installation_to_the_removable_media_path The machine successfully booted after the installation completed. My understanding from IRC is that installing Debian's grub onto the removable media path is _technically_ wrong, but it is what Windows does and various firmwares out there are broken without it. Doing this, however, means clobbering any other OS's UEFI bootloader that was previously installed there. Because every BIOS has a different interface for fixing this kind of thing, it's not very nice for users to have to fix a non-bootable fresh install. If we can *reliably* detect that there's no other OS installed during the grub installation.. I'd vote for just going ahead and installing onto the removable media path by default in that scenario. I don't have any suggestions for what to do in the case of someone installing onto a machine that is intending to dual-boot Debian with another OS. It's been a decades since I've dealt with dual-booting x86 machines.
