Boot into a live system, and make sure grml-debootstrap is installed. For example, write the grml ISO, for example daily snapshot to a USB storage device.

sudo dd if=grml64-full_sid_latest.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4194304 conv=sync

Create three partitions with gdisk:

  1. 1 GB EFI System Partition (ESP) of type EF00
  2. 1 GB partition 8300 (Linux filesystem) for /boot
  3. rest for partition 8304 Linux x86-64 root (/) (https://systemd.io/DISCOVERABLE_PARTITIONS/)
  4. 8 GB swap partition

Maybe use boot loader partition:

Command (? for help): t
Partition number (1-3): 2
Current type is 'Linux filesystem'
Hex code or GUID (L to show codes, Enter = 8300): bc13c2ff-59e6-4262-a352-b275fd6f7172
Changed type of partition to 'Freedesktop $BOOT'

Do not forget to run partprobe to notify the Linux kernel about the partition table change.

Or, with sgdisk:

sudo sgdisk --zap --new=1:0:+1G /dev/nvme0n1 -t 0:ef00 --new=2:0:+1G -t 0:8300 --new=3:0:-8G -t 0:8304 --new=4:0:0 -t 0:8200 -p

Format partitions:

$ sudo mkfs.fat -F32 -nESP /dev/nvme0n1p1
mkfs.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24)
$ sudo mkfs.ext4 -L boot /dev/nvme0n1p2
[…]
$ sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/nvme0n1p3
$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p3 nvme0n1p3_crypt

Clone repository:

$ git clone https://github.molgen.mpg.de/pmenzel/grml-debootstrap-config
$ cd grml-debootstrap-config

Check file config, and update hostname and root password. Update the user details in chroot-scripts/20-add-user.sh.

Install Debian sid/unstable with the command below:

DEBOOTSTRAP=mmdebstrap sudo grml-debootstrap -c config --efi /dev/nvme0n1p1 --chroot-scripts chroot-scripts --packages packages

Mount system and enter with chroot:

$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/nvme0n1p3_crypt /mnt

Move files from /mnt/boot to /dev/nvme0n1p2:

$ sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt/tmp
$ sudo mv /mnt/boot/* /mnt/tmp
$ sudo umount /mnt/tmp
$ sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt/boot
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
$ sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi
$ sudo grml-chroot /mnt bash

Edit /etc/fstab to add the boot partition.

Edit /etc/crypttab to add the root partition:

nvme0n1p3_crypt	UUID=<in lsblk -O>	none		luks

Update initrd and install GRUB:

$ sudo update-initramfs -c -k all
$ sudo grub-install
$ sudo update-grub
