"Sounds like" doesn't cut it. Sorry.

So I'm looking for the page that has those instructions. Do you know
where it is?

It would list the requirements, what to put where, and where in the
d-i process you arrive after booting.
(d-i ≡ debian-installer, for the OP.)

OK. The OP appears to disagree.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/05/msg00518.html

This is why "sounds like" doesn't cut it. I (and other people coming
to the Debian web pages and wikis) don't want to be led up the garden
path by instructions in random postings expressed in unclear language
(that's not a criticism; I'm sure I have not a word of the OP's
native language.)

Cheers,
David.
