I should have just referred you to the Debian Handbook here:

https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/sect.installation-steps.html

 Each menu entry hides a specific boot command line, which can be configured
 as needed by pressing the TAB key before validating the entry and booting. The
 “Help” menu entry displays the old command line interface, where the F1 to F10
 keys display different help screens detailing the various options available at
 the prompt. You will rarely need to use this option except in very specific cases.
