Installing Debian using files only from debian.org and encrypted root filesystem - omarcomputing - 10-08-2022

I did the following, the pinebook pro would boot to into debian installer, and the install completed successfully but after install, the pinebook pro would no longer boot.

wget https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm64/daily/netboot/SD-card-images/firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz
wget https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm64/daily/netboot/SD-card-images/partition.img.gz
zcat firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz partition.img.gz > final.img

I used "dd" to copy final.img to my eMMC adapter with eMMC module attached.
I reinserted the eMMC module into the pinebook pro and the pinebook pro was able to boot from it.
I was able to complete the install but the pinebook pro would not boot after the installer completed.
I did an expert install and selected "Guided - use entire disk and setup encrypted LVM".
What more has to be done to make the pine book boot?
I am loking for specific instructions to do this myself.
Do I need to select manual partitioning?

I do not want to use Daniel Thompson's pinebook-pro-debian-installer because it is over two years old and no longer maintained.
