Either I am doing something wrong, or this doesnt 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 cant even manually load one with configfile since it doesnt 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, whats 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 thats 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.
