Either I am doing something wrong, or this doesn�t seem to be quite working.
When I run bootnetia64.efi from the debian-installer package I just get the GRUB prompt � no config was loaded. I can�t even manually load one with �configfile� since it doesn�t seem to be able to parse the partition table.
grub> ls
(hd0) (cd0)
When I run the GRUB that was installed by my previous OS installation (grubia64.efi), it does parse the HD partitions correctly
grub> ls
(hd0) (hd0,gpt3) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1) (cd0)
and, if I force the configfile to point at the debian-installer one, it does start installation correctly.
So, what�s the deal with bootnetia64.efi? Does it need to load all the mod files that are present in the �grub� directory in order to understand GPT partitions? If that�s the case, why is it not loading them? Do relative paths not work? In other words,
does the debian-installer folder need to be on a specific, hardcoded, path within the EFI partition?
Thanks.

You can test the netboot image if you want, I uploaded it into the
same location. Just download the tarball and extra the netboot
image.
