Oh, so BIOS/bootloader issues aside, it's not possible to run the stock Debian, despite it supporting AArch64? That's disappointing.

Why couldn't an installer install u-boot when doing the rest of the installation?


Ayufan and mrfixit both produce images based on debian and ubuntu, but with custom kernels.
