[2022-06-26 Sun] Debian on Stick PCs

Debian 11 (firmware iso, EFI boot) install seemed to go fine, but the system says "No Bootable Device".

Setting a supervisor password in the bios allows changing the secure boot setting to enabled. I was able to manually add the shimx64.efi to the BIOS EFI setup. Then removing the supervisor password leaves it in a booting state.
