ISTR two selections pointing to same device is a consequence of having CSM

No idea whether this could help, but when I boot 10.2 NetInst CD on my 2 year
old
Intel Asus desktop with AMI/Aptio BIOS, F8 produces a 3 item selection of
UEFI OS (on M.2 NVME)
UEFI DVD RW drive
Enter Setup
Choosing the optical drive eventually produces an expected installer menu,
though
in unexpected GUI mode rather than text as I am used to with Debian's net
installers.
In BIOS setup I have:
CSM disabled
Secure boot disabled
Boot option priorities:
1 UEFI HDD
2 UEFI USB
3 UEFI CDROM
4-8 disabled
Boot override lists the first two choices from the F8 screen (as above).
Selecting either boot override from BIOS setup causes it to proceed with booting
the highlighted device.
