1. Flash to SPI NOR the upstream U-Boot v2024.10 SPL and main payload
2. Connected with UART serial terminal at U-Boot commandline load into memory address $kernel_address_r the official Debian minimal network-based installer riscv64/daily/netboot/mini.efi
3. (workaround for Mars CM / -Lite) U-Boot command env set fdtfile starfive/jh7110-milkv-mars.dtb and then env save to make this permanent.
4. U-Boot command bootefi $kernel_address_r

Installation proceeds with a text based UI. Defaults are fine for installation except "Yes/No" about Grub Removable Media when asked the default is No meaning do not install an extra copy of Grub EFI; If you go with the default (No) here you should configure U-Boot command eficonfig to add an EFI entry so it can find this loader; If you select Yes then an extra copy of this is installed in a well known location and no further config of U-Boot is needed it will reboot to Debian Linux OS.
