1. Installing grub boot loader failed on the first attempt as I had selected to install in UEFI mode during an earlier section. Install completed fine after I selected not to force this.
2. UEFI BIOS settings did not list the notebook drive as the location of bootable media, so after install and reboot nothing happened. Switching on legacy support in the BIOS settings allowed me to boot into Debian on startup.

No issues after that.
