# We deinstall grub-efi-arm64-signed- because it creates a file fbaa64.efi
# which makes u-boot hang.

- You can also use the live system to install Debian on the m1, the rough outline is:

        - Create two paritions:

                - One 1 GB vfat
                - Rest with ext4

        - Use debootstrap to bootstrap debian

        - Install the kernel

        - Install grub

        - reboot
