Re: debian-12.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso usb grub boot error "invalid buffer alignment"

In case it's useful, my laptop is currently running Ubuntu - I'm
wondering if it's possible to do some sort of chroot from Ubuntu into
the USB stick, so that I can format the laptop's SSD and begin the
install process that way? Surely that has been thought of before?

(That said, I ought ensure I can boot the USB stick, so that I can do
a rescue install if needed for any fat finger reason...)

I notice the package debian-installer-launcher - should I be able to
use that, with the debian netinst image, and by using that, can I get
a "clean" install i.e format the laptop's SSD?
