Hello,
When booting an USB Debian installer ISO (not the live ISO!), the "Advanced Options" menu allows you to select the "Rescue Mode" option to boot the system and manually select an existing root partition to mount and start the operating system from there (it uses chroot internally).
Hope this helps.
If the grub menu doesn't appear at boot at all, you probably messed up the grub configuration (before grub loads the Linux kernel).Thank you, @Aki. I haven't seen a Grub menu. When the "server" (an old laptop I inherited, maxed the RAM and NVMe on, then turned into a Kubernetes worker node) starts, I see the "Dell" logo, then it dumps me straight into the grub> command line-style prompt. (Seems similar to someone you helped in viewtopic.php?t=155187, but I think my BIOS is set for UEFI.)
