I thought I had kept notes when I did this, but I can't find them.

I installed on a Dell (don't recall the model number now, but it's a recent
model), and I found that the firmware appears to be buggy, in that you can
specify a UEFI installation to boot, and it shows the setting you enter,
but it ignores that setting and boots only to the default installation,
which is something like "\boot\default\boot64.efi".

The only way I could get around it was to create a separate \default
directory (or whatever the default directory name was - I don't now
remember) and copy my debian64.efi (or whatever it was) file into that
directory, renamed as boot64.efi (or whatever the default name was that it
was looking for).

Stupid firmware programming!
