I figured it out.  Simple really.  I formatted a second SSD drive (FAT), created a top level directory "firmware" on the new drive and copied the Debian package to the new "firmware" directory.  Then everything went well with the Debian installer.

I now have a TowBoot (eMMC) | Debian 12 GNOME3 Pine64 Pinebook laptop.
